Britain’s Tina Fletcher wins the Queen Elizabeth II Cup
Molly Ashe-Cawley falls short in her bid for her third QE II Cup but finishes second on Lutopia
Tina Fletcher is a heroine in Great Britain today as she returned the Queen Elizabeth II to England at the Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead on Sunday. American Molly Ashe-Cawley who has won the cup twice in the last three years was tied for the lead aboard Lutopia as four riders managed to go clear in Round 1. Georgina Bloomberg was also one of the clears in Round 1 riding Cim Christo.
Beezie Madden aboard Judgement was one of the betting favorites going into Round 1. A disastrous last fence resulted in a fall and her elimination. The water jump also caused problems for a number of the entries.
Tina Fletcher was first to go in the jump off and again was clear with nine-year-old Overa in a time of 52.12 seconds. When Sweden’s Lotta Schultz and Calibra II picked up four faults and America’s Georgina Bloomberg had eight, the door was open for Molly Ashe-Cawley and Lutopia.
Molly attacked the course and finished with the fastest time (44.86), but a rail handed Fletcher her third win in Queen Elizabeth II Cup.
