Scott Brash: "I thought the course designer has done a fantastic job in there today"

Today Scott Brash excelled in the London World Cup with his famous Hello Jefferson, for Brash the second time he claims this win as he earlier won the class in 2016. “Hello Jefferson is fantastic, I know how careful he is and I can trust him to ride him fast at the last fence, it actually makes him focus more."

" It meant I could take a chance to the last and make up a bit of time I lost between one to two." Brash continues. "I was tight back to the second from last, he tends to fall in left a bit, but I managed to be tight and he jumped the vertical well, made me land a touch shorter so the eight strides to the last was a touch more forward that the others.”

The former World No. 1 continued: “I thought it was a tricky course, quite twisty to start with. There were some tall verticals there so it was delicate. I thought the course designer has done a fantastic job in there today, when fences fall all over the course and not just in one area that’s a sign of a very good course and seven clears is spot on.” 

Daniel Deusser, who become runner-up with Killer Queen VDM,  said: “Of course I would have liked to win, but I’m not disappointed. My horse jumped fantastic with two nice clear rounds today. When I saw Scott, I knew his horse was naturally faster than mine, so I had to leave a few strides out here and there, which worked out very nicely. If you had see the times it was very close and if I’d have been a little more forward after the last I could have done it. In the end I would have loved to win but I’m really happy with my second place this afternoon.
