Prix Vicomte Arthur 1m45 Speed Class

Mark McAuley and Kerball (above) scored the win of the Prix Vicomte Arthur.  First out on course Mark set a very quick time that was unbeatable.

The well-versed speed horse out-ran 8 other horses in the one round Table C stopping the clock at 64.93 to beat Silvana (pictured below)- ridden by Alexandra Thornton (65.08 sec).

Mark was ebullient on the horse’s round. “The horse was unlucky over the last two days with just one rail down in each class.  I am happy for the horse today as he has jumped so well and deserved the win.  I have ridden him now for about 5 months and he is a very suitable speed horse who will go further.”

“I will take him to the Global Champions Tour in Valkenswaard,” he added.

Edouard de Rothschild, who was second to last to go with the big chestnut Monjean Du Vallet (pictured below) completed the track in a time of 66.37 seconds to take third place.
