Sunday 26 July 2026
Ben Maher was matchless against the clock in the Unex Group Speed Classic, riding Jane Forbes Clark’s versatile and talented 15-year-old mare Ginger-Blue.
Faults count as time in this Table C class, but Ben was both fast and clear, undercutting another swift and clean round from Matt Sampson and Latte Macchiato by 0.23sec.
“We’ve had her since a seven-year-old and she’s won so many classes for us, I know her very well. We’re very strategic now with where we place her and what we do with her as she’s a little bit older but she’s in probably the best form she’s ever been in this year,” Ben said.
Ben helped the British team to triumph in yesterday’s Agria Nations Cup riding Catelly and is preparing to contest tomorrow’s Al Shira’aa King George V Gold Cup with Enjeu De Grisien.
