Ruy says, “It’s a good mix with experienced riders and some promising young horses. This will be a big step up for them, and we hope they will be in their prime for London 2012. We will then be looking ahead to Rio de Janeiro 2016. Nick (Turner) is doing a fantastic job and must be one of British Airways best customers at moment! Next year our goal is the Pan American Games in Mexico (Guadalajara City) where we hope to qualify a Team for London 2012.”
