Great Britain’s Scott Brash has made history today by winning the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) Grand Prix in London for the second year running.

By winning at the Royal Hospital Chelsea the Olympic gold medallist now as the most LGCT Grand Prix titles in history.

He took his 11th title with a supremely impressive performance riding Hello Mr President, to win ahead of Peder Fredricson of Sweden and Ludger Beerbaum from Germany.

"Luck was on my side today for sure," Brash said.

"I thought my horse jumped fantastic. 

"In the first round I think he just saw the line up the side and that took him by surprise and had the back rail of the red and white, then in doing so it made he very careful. 

"He is a very careful horse anyway and I really had no chance jumping out of the combination. 

"But he finished off very well."

Ludger has also joined an illustrious group with that result as he will now compete in the LGCT Super Grand Prix in Prague later this season.

Ben Maher, another Briton, extended his overall ranking lead.

With 270 points in total, he now sits 38 ahead of his nearest rival Harrie Smolders from The Netherlands.

"Congratulations to Scott - I can never seem to get that one step ahead at this show," Maher said.

"Scott set off with an incredible round, he has a naturally very fast horse.

"I stuck with my plan and was just quick enough but a very unlikely fault from Explosion today and I very rarely say it but probably luck wasn’t on my side - but he is an incredible horse and I’m very grateful to be able to ride horses like this. 

"It is another great result here for the overall championship."

Smolders is still second with 234 points, while Australia's Edwina Tops-Alexander is third with 212 points.
