Ros Canter has claimed the Mars Badminton Horse Trials trophy with Lordships Graffalo, who at the age of 13 is already deserving of the title “all time great”, for the second time. From fourth in the Badminton Horse Trials results after dressage, to second after cross-country, the pair seized victory when the long-time leader Oliver Townend and Cooley Rosalent lowered one rail to finish second.

Patrick Whelan might not be high up the leaderboard at the Mars Badminton Horse Trials, but he made an eye-catching debut. His clear round on Ikoon Lan for 27.2 time-faults might give the impression of a safe and steady round, but in fact Patrick showed outstanding skills after his martingale broke early on. “It was a good round, but I’ve had easier ones,” said Patrick.

There have been five withdrawals prior to the final horse inspection on the morning of the Mars Badminton Horse Trials. At this stage, all of the top 10 will go forward to the trot-up. The highest placed of the trio is Yasmin Ingham with Rehy DJ, who were lying 14th after adding 9.6 time-faults to their cross-country clear round. Nicky Hill will take no further part on MGH Bingo Boy, after their clear cross-country moved them up from joint-67th to 28th.
