Harry Charles (GBR) & Ballypatrick Tiberius

All eyes were on him. Harry Charles (GBR), straight to Gijón from Aachen, where he won two bronze medals (team and individual) at the FEI Jumping World Championship last weekend, was unbeatable on the grass arena this afternoon. Riding Ballypatrick Tiberius, the pair were among the fastest in the first round, qualifying for the jump-off, where they went on to beat the other 12 qualifiers for victory in the €106,000 Fundación Gijón Rural CSI 4*.

Charles was the second-to-last rider in the second round; he faced difficulties at the second obstacle due to an awkward stride from his horse, but from that point on, it was all speed and not a single rail down. He was one of the favorites this afternoon, and his victory made it clear why.
