Ingrid Klimke and Tabasco TSF were among the last to go, and performed an outstanding test making the most of the black Trakehner gelding’s extraordinary movement. Their score of 34.0 leads the pack, and bumped Lucinda Fredericks and Flying Finish (36.7) to second, with Andrew Nicholson and Mr. Cruise Control (38.0) in third. Zara Phillips and High Kingdom also scored in the 30s (39.7) for fourth.
The judges used a wide range of scores today; Ingrid and Lucinda earned several 9s in their tests (both for Rider!), but the low end was used as necessary. Poor Bettina Hoy had a miserable test with Lanfranco TSF, who apparently did not want to halt today…his test opened with 2s, and earned 0s for the halt/reinback. It just goes to show, horses will be horses, no matter what the level!
For the US, Jennie Brannigan held on to her spot in the top 20, as she and Cambalda are tied for 18th with 48.7. The other three American pairs are stacked together: Julian Stiller and Enjoy Me (52.2), 27th; Marilyn Little and RF Demeter (53.5) 28th; and Jolie Wentworth and Good Knight (55.5) in 29th.
