Joseph Murphy focusing on the positives
He is aboard Sportsfield Othello in the CIC three-star contest and is gearing up the 15-year-old gelding for Badminton in three weeks. Mixed would be a fair assessment of his mount’s form in recent months, suffering elimination at last year’s European Championships in Blair Castle, with a repeat performance in the three-star at Tyrella earlier this month, before finishing third in a two-star at Kedrah Castle.
“Blair was unlucky event for many, so, as an event rider I focus on the positives rather than negatives and work forwards from there,” said Murphy yesterday.
