Arkuga and James Smith were in spectacular form this afternoon, with a win in the 4* Diputación De Cadiz Grand Prix.
Messi and James clinched the win in a tight jump off of 8 riders, finishing just ahead of of Karl Robins and Equine America G Camille HBF in second place.
You can watch both of their rounds below.
Our wonderful homebred Arkuga (Messi) wins the €100,000 3* Grand Prix today in Vilamoura so grateful to James Smith for riding him so brilliantly these past few weeks having never sat on him before. He has already taken a win and 3rd in Ranking classes and placing another of the Grand Prixs.
John and I are so incredibly proud to have bred such a fabulous horse out of our exceptional mare, Beluga, by the great Arko and he has given us so many of these moments being such a natural born winner but after finishing 2nd on two previous occasions with me in the 3* Grand Prixs in Vilamoura he finally has the win he deserves. Thanks so much to the team out here, Ciara Miller and Nikki Park, for taking such great care of him. Thanks to James for being the brilliant rider he is and thanks to my sponsors.
