LOCAL rider Brian Morrison crowned a busy weekend to land an especially rewarding win in a competitive CCI3*-S. Teaming with the aptly named Global Faerlie Flashy, Morrison was promoted from an opening second spot (27.3), and by producing one of only five double clears, just retained his advantage over second-placed Sam Watson with Imperial Sky.

“She really deserved that,” said Morrison. “I took her to Le Lion D’Angers, where having jumped the wrong fence across country, I denied her a top six placing.” Making no mistake this time around, Morrison was fast and clear to add, “She is the real deal. She’s very good on the flat, and a real galloper.”
