Meyers, riding Dimitrius, received 1.273 points from the five judges and finished just ahead of Robert Dover on Walzertak, who had 1.271 points. Carol Lavell on Gifted was third with 1.248 points.

Uta Wusthof, riding Ramon, and fellow West German Nicole Holzer on Ricardo, were fourth and fifth with 1.222 and 1.218 points.

The show’s featured event, Grand Prix jumping, is scheduled at Olympic Stadium on Sunday. The Grand Prix Nations Cup is set for Friday.

Erik Affholter came to terms with the Green Bay Packers, who selected him in the fourth round of the NFL draft. The terms of the pact were not disclosed.

Affholter played receiver at USC, where his juggling, sliding catch for a touchdown helped defeat UCLA in 1987 and send the Trojans to the Rose Bowl. He also punctuated his prep career by kicking a 64-yard field goal--then the longest in high school history--while attending Oak Park High in Agoura.
