Commenting on the announcement, Event Director Martyn Johnson stated, “I am thrilled that connections at the 2022 event will be able to compete for the largest prize pot in the event’s history. Everyone at LRBHT understands the cost and time it takes to produce a five star horse and the increased prize money reflects the board’s commitment to ensure that Land Rover Burghley continues to be at the pinnacle of our sport.”
