Released 18.09.06 Robert Smith won the 1.40m Grand Prix at Arena UK on Marius Claudius in true style ahead of Ben Maher on Gama Alondra and Peter Charles on Johnny Jopper with a 2 second advantage.
His double clear victory proved that the pair are back to business and in winning form to take the £7500 first prize. Robert also came fourth in the same Grand Prix class with a double clear on the impressive young stallion, Vangelis S, owned by Sharon Baldwin.
“I am delighted with both horses. Claude and Vangelis jumped so well,” said Robert “Vangelis is only eight years old but he is extremely talented with incredible scope so I have high hopes for him in the future.” The programme is being televised by SKY in October.
