There were no Elite premiums awarded in the Endurance<br />
category this year, but the highest score in this discipline was<br />
awarded at the Tushingham leg of the Futurity. This went to<br />
the April born colt foal Vlacq Lord Bazinga. Home bred by<br />
Laura Pyke by her own stallion, the predominantly Crabbet<br />
sire Vlacq Zibaq out of Vlacq Sulime by the Thoroughbred<br />
Hipu Who. Laura has bred high scoring endurance candidates<br />
in the past including the High Scoring foal in 2014 – Vlacq<br />
Elladora.<br />

The dressage section was particularly strong at the Cheshire<br />
venue, with no less than 4 Elites being awarded. These were<br />
to foals Fairytale Romance (For Romance I X Rubin Royal),<br />
Durango (Dream Boy x Schwarzgold) and Fosshey Quarrier<br />
(Quatensprung x Der Lord), and also to the 3 year old filly<br />
Faithfully Yours (Blue Hors Farrell x Rosentau). It was Lucinda<br />
Bellis’s Fairytale Romance who took the high score of the day<br />
with marks of 9.5 for both trot and canter, which both were<br />
uphill with clear articulation of the joints. He is a son of the<br />
young Oldenburg sire For Romance I who is already competing<br />
at advanced level, and his dam is out of leading Grand Prix<br />
sire Rubin Royal.<br />
Sandra Tinkler’s 3 year old filly Faithfully Yours led the way<br />
for the older generation with an excellent score of 9.025. The<br />
long legged chestnut Hanoverian was praised for her athletic<br />
conformation and the cadence in her trot. She hails from<br />
the Furst Heinrich sire line through her sire Blue Hors Farrell<br />
whose first crop of stallion prospects in 2017 were approved<br />
in a number of registries. Her dam Raffina was one of Fosshey<br />
Stables’ foundation mares.<br />

There was a further Elite in the show jumping section where<br />
Lauren Scaratt’s Redhot Toddie was awarded 9.05. This May<br />
born colt is a son of the AES stallion Voights Anky Pankynky<br />
out of a daughter of the international performer Russel. With<br />
excellent scores from the vet and for his canter, the colt was<br />
praised for his balance and power.<br />
The top yearling across the day was also in the show jumping<br />
section and this was Stuart Shaw’s gelding Cascadello Derevel<br />
Sandra. With his athletic frame and strong canter, the son of<br />
Cascadello is an interesting prospect for the future.<br />

The top eventer was<br />
also a yearling, this<br />
being Poppy Burgess’s<br />
homebred Fun Lovin<br />
Criminal. He is a son<br />
of the Dutch bred but<br />
<strong>British</strong> based sire<br />
Denver LG out of a<br />
mare by the important<br />
Thoroughbred sire<br />
Criminal Law. He was<br />
praised for his frame<br />
and eventing type.<br />
