John Whitaker

British showjumper John Whitaker marked his return from a two-month injury break with victory in the CSI2* grand prix at Chard, Somerset. The 70-year-old Yorkshireman rode his 18-year-old horse Equine America Unick Du Francport to the only double clear round in the Longines rankings class. Whitaker's win came at his second competition since hernia surgery in late February.
