Badminton Horse Trials - 2009 - 10/05/2009

Rishi Persad is in Gloucestershire to present full coverage of the Badminton Horse Trials, including highlights of the cross-country phase and live coverage of the day's showjumping. It is the 60th year of the famous event, and a star-studded line-up are set to compete. World champion Zara Phillips and Toytown are back after the injury that kept the pair out of the 2008 Olympics. They are joined by several members of the GB team that won bronze in Beijing, including William Fox-Pitt and Mary King, both of whom are previous winners of the prestigious Badminton trophy. Despite the strong British presence, arguably the biggest draw is the return of three-time winner Mark Todd from New Zealand. Todd is a legend of the sport, who retired after the Sydney Olympics in 2000 only to make a comeback in 2008, and he has not competed at Badminton for nine years. Commentary comes from Michael Tucker, Tina Cook and Ian Stark.
