Here come the girls at Bolesworth International!

Friday 17 June 2016

 

Julie Slade and Billy GoGo claimed their second Bolesworth CSI **** International win in the space of 24 hours when they landed the Am-B jump-off class, sponsored by Gatehouse, on Friday.

 

And it was an emphatic victory, with their jump-off time of 36.62 seconds proving almost four secoonds quicker than the runner-up combination - Bruno Goyens de Heusch and Corella F - while Camilla Bingham and Wembley took third.

 

"It is great to get a second win," Slade said. "My jump-off plan went to perfection, coming inside to fence four to save some time and one less stride to the last.

 

"Billy GoGo is just 15hh and is very adaptable. He is easy to ride, just lovely on the flat and quite cheeky, but also great fun."

The Am-A speed class went to Newcastle rider Kerstin Deakin, who followed up a third-placed result on Thursday by winning in style on her 17-year-old campaigner Sunsolde.

They clocked a time of 60.67 seconds, with Emily Elliott and Della H in second and Bryony Holloway, riding Cethegus M, third.

"I was drawn quite near the beginning, so it was a long wait," Deakin said. "She is a terrific jumper. She is 17 now, and she is really good indoors and outdoors.

"My boyfriend competed at Liverpool Internationala few months ago, and I went to watch. It was so impressive, so I knew then that I really wanted to come here and compete."

Elsewhere during Friday's early action, the five-year-old championship, sponsored by AW Jenkinson Forest Products, went to Britain's Carmen Edwards on Candy Blue, ahead of Emma Stoker (Townhead Vienna) and Samuel Wall (Harriet).

And there was a second victory of Bolesworth 2016 for the Czech Republic's Emma Augier de Moussac on Brighton Bay, as they took the Young Horse six and seven-year-old two-phase class, sponsored by Opus Interiors.

They prevailed in a time of 29.59 seconds, with Britain's Nicole Pavitt and Gemmarco 16 second and Jake Saywell, riding Darco Native, finishing third.
