Michael Whitaker won the Royal Windsor Grand Prix

A world class performance squad member, Michael Whitaker won on Sunday (11/05), the Royal Windsor Grand Prix.

Michael riding his own eight year-old dark bay gelding, Amai II jumped one of only three double clears of the competition to take victory over William Funnell and Julie Slade’s British bred ten year-old chestnut gelding, Billy Birr. Duncan Inglis riding his own British bred chestnut mare, Sunkist jumped the other double clear to finish in third place.

The bold winning round surprised William Funnell, who took the runner up slot with Julia Slade's Cortaflex Billy Birr.

Duncan Inglis was the only other clear in the jump off and the first to set the standard with the home-bred Sunkist 3.

Last year's winner Tim Stockdale and Fresh Direct Corlato fell victim to the other big upright in the jump-off, while setting the fastest time of the class for fourth place.
