Funnell maintains Tattersalls lead
At the Tattersalls International Horse Trials at Fairyhouse, Pippa Funnell, partnered with Jonathan and Jane Clark’s Billy Beware, maintained the lead going into today's Irish Field CCI*** class after the cross country phase. Lying in second position is Italy’s Giovanni Ugolotti and Stilo Kontika with Australia’s Bill Levett and Improvise in third.
