On Sunday, Eleanore Kelly caught up with Diarmuid Byrne from EquiRatings, the advanced eventing analytics service, who made his prediction of a fairy tale comeback for Andrew Nicholson in the 3rd leg of the Event Rider Masters at the St. James’s Place Barbury International Horse Trials.
Sadly, frustratingly and down right annoyingly, the wifi wasn’t playing ball (unlike Andy Murray) for us to publish this before the reigning King of Barbury set off on course. We can now publish Diarm’s predictions, not just for Barbury but Rio as well.
