It would have been held at Olympia in December and I think back then the Sponser was Volvo you could try googling that

This could be a case SJFAN, a member on here! Give them a pm, they might be able to help.

www.sja.it is a great tool but does not have the records of shows that far back except for World Cup Finals, European & World Championships. I doubt that Volvo could help but it could be worth contacting BCM, the organisation which produces the annual World Cup Media Guide and the long established yearbook L'Annee Hippique at bcm@bcm.nl
I did find out that the class was won by Thomas Fuchs on Dollar Girl. I could help more if only I still had my starting lists from those days - unfortunately someone over-enthusiastic about disposing of things threw them away and by the time I found out it was too late to retrieve them.
StrawberryRoad - I'd love to know why you want info about this particular class.

I've ended up with some images from the event - the winner was a dark/rusty chestnut and think one pic may be of Milton. Another bay horse horse looks familiar but I can't quite put a name to it.

Dollar Girl was dark bay not rusty chestnut! I'm still curious to know why the interest in this particular class. PM me if you want.

I've just checked 1 of the books about Milton and established that, as I thought, he did not compete at Olympia in 1990.

I have sent you an email the PM wouldn't go through. Think it may be the US round having a closer look at the background but Princess Anne is at the presentation. volvo was definately the sponsor.

Thank you for the help everyone - sja.it has a list of the full field from the 89 final (which sjfan identified that the pics were actually from).
