Sam Watson’s winning streak came through again in the CNC1* where he triumphed over the field of 28 runners. He was lying in second place after the dressage with a score of 29.0, but a fall on the cross country course by leaders Rosemarie Ahern O’Gorman with Lissangle Lux The Business (Dressage score 27.8) put him into the winning place.
