Podium For Price In The US
Tokyo Olympian Tim Price nabbed a slice of eventing
history en route to third place in the CCI5*-L at the
inaugural Maryland 5* in the United States. Tim is the first
rider in the world to complete the cross country in all of
seven 5* events – the highest rank of competition. Aboard
Xavier Faer, the world no.3 ranked rider placed third in a
star-studded international field, with the win going to Boyd
Martin (USA) and On Cue after a nail-biting showjumping test
which saw overnight leader, world no.1 Oliver Townend (GBR)
take an early rail to relinquish the lead. It is the first
American 5* win since 2008. Jonelle Price and Classic Moet
placed eighth.
COVID has seen the cancellation of nearly
all of the world’s 5* events, with Badminton, Burghley and
Adelaide all falling by the
wayside.
