Mr Michael Dawson’s outstanding mare was once again in winning form, this time at the CSI5* event in Madrid (21-24 May). Columbia, ridden by Robert Smith, went clear in 58.21secs in Saturday’s international class to take the winning honours ahead of Spain’s Manuel Anon on Loreal D’Utah and Britain’s Ellen Whitaker on Kanselier.
Meanwhile Vangelis S finished a credible 5th in the big feature Grand Prix on Sunday.
