Switzerland enjoys last-gasp win

Switzerland’s Beat Mandli and Principal raced through with a late run at London’s Olympia Showjumping to snatch the opening Shelley Ashman, BEIB & Equine Risk Stakes from Robert Smith and Kalusha by 0.13 seconds.

The 12-year-old grey Kalusha, winner of the World Cup round in Vigo, Spain, last February, has scored in Belfast and Geneva in the last ten days to help Smith win two cars, completing a treble with the one he had already secured in Stuttgart.
