EQUESTRIAN
Robert Whitaker made a blistering start in his quest
for a hat-trick of British Open showjumping titles on Wednesday
night. Yorkshireman Whitaker won the first of four classes that will
decide the overall champion - complete with a £25,000 winner's
purse - at the LG Arena on Saturday night. Whitaker, aboard Casino,
took the top prize in 2008 and 2009 with Lacroix 9, but despite a
change of horse it made no difference to his hunger for success. |
