BRAND NEW & SEALED
Celebrating it’s 50thAnniversary the centre piece of this year’s Autumn Classic of Eventing wasundoubtedly the retro styled Cross Country track designed by Captain MarkPhillips with the spectacular new lake crossing at it’s heart .
Day one started withWilliam Fox-Pitt and his four star newcomer Parklane Hawk setting the standardwith a promising 39.7 points which was only narrowly bettered on the following dayby Germany’s Simone Deitermann and Free Easy NSW.
With 33 fences and 45jumping efforts on the 6650 metre journey across Burghley’s undulating terrain,Saturdays Cross Country was certain to test both stamina and concentration.
The scene was set fora truly nail biting finish with William Fox-Pitt bidding to re-write the recordbooks after his five previous successes on Chaka in 1994, Highland Lad in 2002,Ballincoola in 2005, Parkmore Ed in 2007 and Tamarillo in 2008.
