The Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final, held on Friday 11 December 2015, is one of the most thrilling and intensely competitive classes of the year. The top-10 highest-ranked riders in the world for 2015 are invited to go head-to-head. Only an athlete who has shown consistently brilliant form all year will qualify to compete for the coveted title.
This year three Rolex equestrian Testimonees have quali?ed for the Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final: Great Britain’s Scott Brash; Ireland’s Bertram Allen; and the USA’s Kent Farrington. While Brash will be aiming to retain his 2014 title; this will be the ?rst time Allen has competed, whilst Farrington returns for his second attempt to claim the trophy.
Rolex has supported the IJRC Top 10 Final since its inauguration in 2001, and several of its equestrian Testimonees have won this prestigious title – Rodrigo Pessoa (2003 and 2005), Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum (2004 and 2006), Steve Guerdat (2010) and Scott Brash (2014).
