William Fox-Pitt and Parkmore Ed also jumped a double clear to move up one placing from third to second on 49.4.

Marie Ryan placed third with Sparrow Hawk (52.8), who did have a rail in the stadium to drop one place, and fourth on Penny Royal III (57.8), who jumped a double clear.

Cindy Collier Rawson placed 13th with The Gatecrasher, in his first CCI***. The Gatcrasher is owned by Robert and Sara Futh, of Washington, Connecticut. The Fuths also own Ashdale David's Way, with Cindy's father. Cindy placed 12th at the Burghley Masterfoods CCI****, last fall, riding Ashdale David's Way. (Cindy and The Gatecrasher are pictured below at the left, in 2001.)

Sally Futh reports the following:

"Cindy called ecstatic that Harley (The Gatecrasher) went around clear at his first 3***. He was
so exuberant he overjumped into the first water so she had to take the long
option, and same at another fence, so 17 time faults and moved down from 9th after Dressage to 13th; but, he was always a somewhat timid soul, so this is a
welcome change and can be tamed."

Sara Kozumplik finished 7th in the Elite Under 25 Championship after Show Jumping clean with As You Like It, for a final score of 85.0.

Results after Cross Country.

eventingetc.com is grateful to Julia Longland for the following comments and results.

Terry Boon, 31, who won the Athens Olympic Test Event last August, in Greece, leads the Guardian Collections Bramham CCI***, in spite of incurring 6.0 time faults on the Cross country with Foreign Exchange for final score of 47.6. Terry and Foreign Exchange had been second after Dressage.

Julia Longland points out that, "Boon is a former European Young rider Champion, who gave up the sport in 1999 because it was too much of a financial struggle. He returned because he missed it so much and went on to win the Athens pre-Olympic event, after which he broke a bone in his foot and was off for a while. He led at the Windsor three day event last month on Drivetime, only to trip up at the second water jump across country. The horse was making a good comeback after being out of action for 18 months with a leg injury. He (Boon) has a good record with Foreign Exchange after winning at Belton (Lincs) and Withington Manor.

" Boon owns the French bred Foreign Exchange jointly with Preetha Balse, who went to his yard as a 4 year old for sale as a hunter" Julia continued. "In the end the horse was swapped for an event horse that had not made the grade, and got his present name, For.Exch. hence the name. Boon waited until Sataturday morning to decide whether or not to risk the hard ground."

"Sue Benson, course designer, is using an aggrovator, a machine which spikes the ground and which Mark Phillips used on rock-hard ground at Gatcombe last summer," Julia continued.

Marie Ryan, wife of the Australian Olympic Individual Gold Medalist from Barcelona, 1992, stands second, a mere 1.2 faults behind the leader. Marie, who rides for Great Britain, partnered Sparrow Hall to a final score of 48.8. This pair rose from fourth place after Dressage on the strength of their double clear Cross Country.

Julia tells us, "Marie's husband, Matt Ryan, is having to travel to Poland in two weeks to try to qualify Bonza Puzzle for Athens. The horse just missed out on the correct (qualifying) time at Badminton and then got a corn when due to run at Bramham."

William Fox-Pitt turned in a double clear with Parkmore Ed for a final of 49.4 to be within one rail of the leaders going into Sunday's Show Jumping.

William Fox-Pitt had been the overnight leader after the Dressage Phase with his other ride. Julia Longland reports, "Moon Man (William Fox-Pitt) ground to a standstill at Fence 22 (The Ripon Farm Services Den) on the Cross Country and retired. This happened at the bridge at the Quarry at Badminton, ... and William put it down to dislike of the muddy going. But as the Bramham ground is, I assume, perfect, in this weather, it is clearly some other mystery factor, as Moon Man was a European team gold medallist at Punchestown last September, finishing 8th individually."

Cindy Rawson stands 13th with The Gatecrasher, having picked up 1.6 time on the Steeplechase and 17.6 on the Cross Country for 71.0.

Sara Kozumplik is 11th with As You Like It in the Under 25 Division on 85.0.
