Brittiska hoppryttare vinner samtliga CSI5*-klasser vid Royal Windsor

Brittiska ryttare dominerade öppningsdagarna av Royal Windsor Horse Show och tog hem segern i samtliga CSI5*-klasser under de första två dagarna. Matt Sampson, Jack Whitaker och Ben Maher stod alla för framstående prestationer med både nya och etablerade hästar. Resultaten utgör en viktig markering inför världsmästerskapen i Aachen.

Matt Sampson inledde den brittiska framgångsvågen genom att vinna Pearl Stakes på Nouvelle Van Het Veldhof. Det 13-åriga stoet, som han har ridit sedan mars, slutade 0,33 sekunder före Abdullah Alsharbatly. Sampson följde upp med ännu en seger på lördagen i Sheikha Fatima Bint Hazza Al Nahyan Challenge Stakes på Latte Macchiato, där han satte ett högt tempo i omhoppningen som visade sig vara oslagbart.
