Hoy triumphs on home soil

ZARA Phillips made the British selectors sit up and take notice after finishing second at Luhmuhlen CCI**** behind fellow Gatcombe-based Olympic rider, Bettina Hoy.

German Olympic rider Hoy and Ringwood Cockatoo delighted the German spectators at Luhmuhulen with a flawless show jumping round to finish on her dressage score of 33.9 and win the country's first CCI**** event.

The pair, who have had wins at Chatsworth CIC*** and Fontainbleu CIC*** this season, led the field from the beginning and had one show jump in hand as they entered the arena yesterday afternoon. Second place went to Phillips riding Toytown, who also completed the competition with a clear score sheet, finishing on a dressage score of 38.7.The cross-country, designed by Mark Phillips, was well built with plenty of alternatives and caused few major problems.

Philips is now among the final four riders selected to represent Britain at the European Eventing Championships at Blenheim in September.
