| FAIR HILL INTERNATIONAL | 18/10/2011 |
| Congratulations Boyd ! | |
| Boyd Martin won his second Fair Hill CCI3* championship in three years this afternoon. The first came in 2009 with Neville Bardos and Boyd of course rode Neville for the USA 12 months later. Could the same situation play out 12 months from now in London? It's impossible to tell, but there's no doubt that Thomas has put himself into the mix of Boyd's horses being considered for the team. Thomas won Fair Hill by 4.2 points and it could easily have been 15 points with a few more fitness runs to make his cross-country a bit quicker. That being said, two or four of those show jumping rails could easily have fallen down--that's eventing. Boyd now has four horses qualified for the London Olympics: Ying Yang Yo, Neville Bardos, Otis Barbotiere, and Remington. Between four qualified horses and just winning a CCI3*, there's no doubt that Boyd has the strongest position of any US rider right now looking ahead to London. | |
