€1 million prize hangs in the balance for Scott Brash

7 September 2015

Will Scott Brash pull off the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping at Spruce Meadows on Sunday 13 September? Jumping fans in the UK, Ireland and The Netherlands will find out first by watching the action live on Horse & Country TV.

The CP International from Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Canada is one of the events in Rolex’s Grand Slam of Show Jumping, which also incorporates legs at Aachen and Geneva. Rolex offers a €1 million bonus to any rider who can win all three events in a row.

Now British rider Scott Brash is in pole position to pull off the Rolex Grand Slam, having won two legs. This would be the first time the Grand Slam bonus had been awarded since its creation in 2013. Until now, no rider has even won two legs of the Grand Slam in a row to put them in line for the bonus prize.

The 28-year-old from Peebles, Scotland started his hat-trick run at the CHI Geneva last December and went on to take the laurels at Aachen this May. In both events he rode his top horse Hello Sanctos, the 13-year-old Belgian-bred gelding owned by Lord and Lady Harris and Lady Kirkham.

Horse & Country TV will broadcast the Grand Prix from Spruce Meadows live in the UK, Ireland, and The Netherlands, on Sunday, September 13, from 7pm BST and 8pm CEST.

Horse & Country offers Dutch fans the only way to watch the action live. UK and Irish viewers can watch the event on Sky channel 253, and for those who do not have satellite TV, it is available live on H&C’s internet-based service, H&C Play.

The event will also be available on a delayed basis on H&C’s channels in Sweden and Australia several days later.

Sports fans can watch H&C on Sky 253 in the UK and Ireland, on cable and IPTV in The Netherlands and Sweden, and over the internet via H&C Play, www.play.horseandcountry.tv
