From John Lechner:

Saturday at Adelaide has started well with the CCI2 Star class just coming to completion.  Conditions are perfect for XC and I caught up with Vet Delegate Dr. Nigel Nichols before XC to get his thoughts.

Overnight leader and recent WEG veteran Chris Burton on Under Discussion looked fantastic early on, blazing through the upright double, in fine style.  Unfortunately, mid way round the course, Chris had a slip from the saddle and was eliminated.  The provisional results show four of the top 10 riders are Young Riders including Katie Redmond on True Blue Toozac who has moved up from 16th to 10th position.

It was also great to see Rebel Morrow on Hillgrove Enviable returning to the elite levels of Eventing after a long break, she started XC in 28th place and looked amazing throughout the course, she was focused and on song, wonderful.

So at the end of XC the CCI2* Leaderboard looks like this

1. Luke Jones – Charlatan 50.0
2. Christopher Burton – Haruzac 52.2
3. Claudia Graham – Park Street Vision 53.3
4T. Christine Bates – Adelaide Hill 55.0 
4T. Sandy Lucas – Ever So Clever tied 55.0

Catch you after the 4 Star…
