Español

El saltador británico John Whitaker continuó su regreso a la competición tras su cirugía de hernia a finales de febrero con una victoria en el gran premio de Chard, seguida de otras apariciones en Chepstow.

Whitaker, de 70 años, consiguió su primera victoria tras su regreso en el gran premio CSI2* de Chard, Somerset, montando al caballo de 18 años Equine America Unick Du Francport. El triunfo llegó apenas en su segundo concurso tras la operación, después de sus anteriores apariciones internacionales en Hong Kong y Gotemburgo. Posteriormente, compitió en Chepstow, en el West Country. Su familia también ha estado activa en el circuito; su esposa Clare y su hijo Rob han obtenido buenos resultados en eventos en Italia, incluida la victoria de Rob en el gran premio de Montefalco la semana anterior.
