William Fox-Pitt (GBR) leads the rankings on 564 points from Andrew Nicholson (NZ) on 515 points. Boyd Martin is in third place on 420, young Jock Paget from New Zealand is fourth with 377 and Phillip Dutton fifth on 351. Interesting that over half (11) of the top 20 have originally come from New Zealand or Australia ............ must be something in the water
