at the Empire Pool, Wembley featuring tonight
The Queen Elizabeth II Cup
(Holder: 'Merely a Monarch,' Anneli Drummond-Hay) and The King George V Gold Cup
(Holder: 'Mattie Brown,' Harvey Smith)
The two major international individual competitions - which represent the most coveted titles contested by lady and gentlemen riders respectively - provide a programme unique in spectacle, excitement and atmosphere. The large influx of foreign riders at this Show and last week at Hickstead means that Great Britain's representatives will need to call on all their considerable experience if the stylish challenge of these accomplished visitors is to be resisted.
