Speed queen Laura Renwick enjoyed another dash to glory with Beluga as one of showjumping's most exciting combinations claimed a second victory of this year's Ashford Farm CSI**** Bolesworth International.
Essex-based Renwick won the show's opening four-star class aboard the 14-year-old bay mare on Thursday morning in the International Arena.
Saturday's action saw them in the Castle Arena, and they again did not disappoint, taking the 1.35m speed class, sponsored by Equiline, in emphatic fashion.
A time of 56.16 seconds saw them finish more than two seconds clear of a 32-strong field, with James Smith and Cumina taking second place, followed by Belgium's Jos Verlooy in third on Clearwater 5 and Keith Shore fourth aboard Rubiroso JX.
"She is so fast, and I know if I leave the jumps up she is going to be there or thereabouts. I am very lucky in that respect," Renwick said.
"She is not a slow horse, so she is always going to be in with a shout if the fences stay up.
"I was quite early to go, so that was nice. I could do my own thing and not worry too much about what everyone else was doing."
