Thanks to Chris Kirby, not only do we have a statistical overview of each of the six FEI CCI4* events, but also a breakdown of the Track to the Top Ten for each event
Let’s start with the last event of the year at the Australian International 3 Day Event where six of the Top 10 finishers were well off the pace after the dressage phase
The winners, Clarke Johnstone and Balmoral Sensation led from go to whoa and Megan Jones on Kirby Park Impress was also up there from the start in third place after the dressage and moving into second place after cross country
Donna Edwards-Smith was also in the top 10 after the dressage to finish in seventh place overall but the rest of the top 10 moved from 13th (Ginny Thompson), 14th (Sonja Johnson), 15th (Stuart Tinney), 16th (Andrew Cooper), 17th (Rob Palm) and 18th (Andy Daines) after dressage
Only two riders, Clarke Johnstone and Megan Jones jumped double clear in the show jumping; this is how Clarke did it
