A seventh Olympic Games beckons for Kiwi equestrian Mark Todd after finishing fourth at the Badminton Horse Trials in England.
The 60-year-old went clear on his mount Leonidas in the final showjumping phase, but is ruing a poor dressage at the start of the event.
Todd says Leonidas is a
horse that is well capable of being up near the lead in the dressage but hasn't put a foot wrong since.
Germany's Michael Jung confirmed his favourtism for Olympic gold with a commanding win to complete the triple crown following wins at Kentucky, and Burghley.
Kiwis Clarke Johnstone, Jock Paget and Jonelle Price finished 5th, 6th and 10th respectively.
