THE second of the home wins fell to Charlotte Dixon, who delivered an outstanding performance to head the CIC1* from the front. Riding her mother Barbara’s V Zermie 51, Dixon stamped her authority from the outset, progressing to land her first senior international win on a first phase score of 40.10. The 15-year-old son of Namelus R was originally sourced from England two years ago, and according to Dixon, really deserved the win.

“He’s been so unlucky with illness and injury, so once I got the lead I was determined to keep it!” she said.
