Heartache and triumph

Posted by Alicia Wincze on April 29, 2007

What a tough break for Kristin Bachman. The leader after the dressage just went off course and was elminated – giving the 2007 Rolex title to Australia’s Clayton Fredericks. Congratulations to Clayton and his wonderful mount Ben Along Time!

The amazing Theodore O’Connor ends up third, just behind Phillip Dutton and Connaught.
