Christopher Burton Wins Again at Saumur

For the fourth time, after his 2012, 2016 and 2018 victories, Australia’s Christopher Burton wins CCI 4*L of Saumur Complet. From the beginning to the end, he dominated the dressage and the cross-country and produced a faultless round in the show jumping.

At the end of the Saumur competition, his horse Polystar I now fills the qualifying conditions for the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Burton is ahead of two Tricolours: Jean Lou Bigot, and Utrillo du Halage, and Christopher Six, on Totem de Brecey. Respectively second and third at the end of the cross-country test.

"It's incredible. It's a very special feeling, especially since Saumur is such an endearing site. Whatever may have happened here today, I would have kept exceptional memories of Saumur. I love coming here and when I arrived on Tuesday, I had a large smile on my lips.

The horse was exceptional today, I can not believe that I am paid to ride such an extraordinary horse (laughs). He is now qualified for Tokyo, so we have only to think about the direction we want to give to his preparation, and to go on!" described Christopher Burton, of his 2019 Saumur win.
