Only
two changes took place in the top fourteen rankings after the Lunch Break. William
Fox-Pitt became the third member of the British Silver Medal Team at the Aachen
WEG last week to place high at Blenheim., (William and Tamarillo placed 15th  individually,
in Germany.) Fox-Pitt rode Parkmore Ed to a Dressage Test just .4 of a fault better
than his Thursday test on Birthday Night. (William is pictured at the left
at the first Veterinary Examination at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI****
last May.) Parkmore
Ed belongs to American Philip Adkins and placed second at Bramham in 2004. William
previously has placed first with Stunning and second with Tamarillo at Blenheim
in 2000.* Rodney
Powell and Zinzan II were the other pairing to get into the top fourteen. They
landed in eleventh place, just behind Amy Tryon and Le Samurai.. 1.
