New Zealand's Mark Todd.
New Zealand's main hopes fell from contention after day three at the Badminton horse trials yesterday.
Starting the day in fourth on NZB Campino, Sir Mark Todd was eliminated in the cross-country, and sat in 17th place on his other mount, Leonidas II.
Unheralded Kiwi Tim Price shot up the
leaderboard to sit in second on Ringwood Sky Boy. Fellow New Zealander Lucy Jackson, aboard Willy Do, sat in 10th place.
The cross-country caused mayhem through the 83-strong field with just 35 riders making it around the course. Andrew Nicholson was one of a host of competitors to retire on a treacherously wet day, not finishing on his mount Quimbo.
No one made the time allowed, and Price was only 29 seconds over.
