ANTONIA PLATT claimed the Defender under-25 grand prix, despite not having sat on her winning ride, Marvin Van De Waterhoeve, for two weeks. The 21-year-old had been sitting university exams in Nottingham, where she is studying agriculture, but was able to shift focus to this exacting class, where she topped a six-strong jump-off by 1.62sec.
“I rode him at Chepstow and then drove straight from there to university to sit my end-of-year exams. I didn’t sit on him until this morning,” Antonia said. “My mum Rosalind has done a fantastic job keeping him going – she’s my work rider! There’s some real teamwork between us. My mum and dad are both incredibly supportive.”
The Charles sisters, Sienna – winner at Royal Windsor last year – riding Stardust and Scarlett on I Am Jordan opened the jumpoff, delivering competitive clean sheets that meant the remainder of the field had to push against the clock.
Hollie Pearce rode James O’Hara H to axe 0.38sec from Sienna’s target and take the lead, with Antonia then jumping the only other faultless round, finding significant advantage with her big-striding 12-year-old gelding.
“When I walked the first round, I thought it would take some jumping,” said Antonia, who has competed up to 1.60m and on young rider teams. “But my horse warmed up really nicely, I had a plan and knew my distances, felt prepared and he was great.”

Rider Denies Doping After Team Loses Olympic Placing - Tine Magnus and the Belgian team said they do not know the source of the drug that caused the positive test
Olympic eventer Tine Magnus has denied ever doping after her Paris ride Dia Van Het Lichterveld Z gave a positive test at the Games. This means the Belgian team, which came fourth, has been disqualified. On 4 September, the FEI said the 10-year-old mare, owned by Kris van Vaerenbergh, tested positive for trazodone, which is listed as an antidepressant on the FEI's prohibited substances list.
