Edwina Tops-Alexander: "It's electric, it's so exciting, and the crowd is just incredible."

On Sunday Edwina Alexander-Tops conquered the 1.60m GCT Grand Prix in Madrid. After her phenomenal win and emotional Tops-Alexander smiled: "I have to say, the atmosphere here in Madrid is just amazing."

"It's electric, it's so exciting, and the crowd is just incredible. I would like to thank Fellow’s owner Athina Onassis. His last Grand Prix was at Valkenswaard in August last year, he then had a little setback and I needed to give him a little bit of time to build up his fitness.

"He’s not a particularly fast horse so I was quite worried. He spooked to number one, I had to do one more from [jumps] 1 to 2 and then I was very worried about my time. I had to really really stay focused, and on top of it and try to jump clear and be slick."

Talking about chasing the Championship she explained: " The season is going really fast but we take it show by show, now we have a plan and we will try to stick to the plan, stay positive and try to get it done. So let’s hope it goes in the right direction."
