Boyd Martin & Remington XXV Move Into 3rd at Pau CCI4* After Cross-Country
The sole U.S. competitor at Pau CCI4*, Boyd Martin, gives us his update after a splendid cross-country round, which bumped him and his partner Remington XXV (owned by Ron & Densey Juvonen) up one position to third. Complete results.
Hello pilgrims,
I had a great day on the Hanoverian Hurricane today on cross-country at the Pau CCI****. Little Remi was second last to go on a tough, twisty course that saw many famous names have problems. I must admit I did not have the most beautiful round, but I got the job done. I went all of the direct routes at the tough obstacles and finished the course with 16 time penalties, which leaves me in 3rd place behind William Fox-Pitt and Karin Donckers.
Remi looks like he has pulled up well after a tough afternoon. He trotted up sound late this afternoon, so we look good for the trot-up tomorrow, which is at lunchtime. In hindsight, I wish I had taken a little bit more of a chance at some of the galloping fences. There were one or two fences where I added one too many strides on the approach, and on a horse like Remington not jumping these fences out of stride costs time.
Anyway, I am looking forward to a good show jumping round tomorrow.
Cheers,
Boyd
Following a spectacular cross-country round, Boyd Martin & Remington XXV moved up one spot to third place at Pau CCI4* in France, after gaining 16.0 time penalties over the challenging course.
