Ireland’s Michael Nolan and SBT Good Guy have taken over the CCI4*-S lead at Bromont after an influential show jumping phase.
Propelled by a beautiful clear round, Michael and “Killer,” a 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse owned by Sue and Bob Martin, launched from fourth to first on 34.3 penalties.
Though they knocked one vertical, Dom Schramm and Burghley-bound Bolytair B, a 13-year-old KWPN owned by the Naked Horse Eventing Syndicate, remain in second place on a score of 36.7.
Lillian Heard and her own LCC Barnaby were making moves around Marc Donovan’s show jumping track — moving from ninth into third thanks to their double clear effort. Lillian and the 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse will join Dom and “Boly” in Burghley for their sixth five-star start.
Overnight leader Jessica Phoenix saw two come down and had two seconds too many, dropping into seventh with Watson GS (41.6), but one of her other four rides, Bogue Sound, produced a nearly clear round — just one second over the time — to move into fourth place on a score of 38.2.
Jessica is also 8th with Dr. Sheldon Cooper (41.8) and 12th with Wabbit (50.1).
