American Laura Kraut Edges Canadian Jill Henselwood at the Royal Horse Show

From a huge starting field of 34 horses, 11 jumped the first round cleanly to advance to the jump-off over the course designed by Brazil's Guilherme Nogueira Jorge.

Kraut, who represented the U.S. at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, took home $20,000 in prize money for the evening's work. The details...
