Francois Gallops to Success at Bolesworth

Their jump-off time of 31.42 seconds thwarted the Czech Republic’s Emma Augier de Moussac’s bid for a third Bolesworth victory in 48 hours on Brighton Bay, as she finished second, with Italy’s Luca Maria Moneta third aboard Ambramarie Del Beiro. Mathy said: 

“It is my first time at Bolesworth International, and I was delighted with the horse. He is a stallion that we bought as a foal. He is owned by Team Harmony, and as a seven-year-old is still a young horse, but has a great brain, is very attentive and always listens. He coped well with a tight turn from fences one to two, and when I asked him again at the double, he was sharp and quick.  The plan is to develop him slowly in young horse classes and let him progress steadily without pushing him. We based him at the Newmarket stables from a three to six-year-old, and he was well educated, so had a good start. The Bolesworth International team has worked incredibly hard here, and I can’t credit them enough for the effort they have put in. The arena and set-up is just fantastic.”
