Paris & other international action

[SJFAN]

Ben Maher, Michael Whitaker & Robert Smith are at the Paris 5*; Jane Davies & Claire Salem at the 2* ; and Tess Carmichael at the 1* (her opponents include former tennis champion Martina Hingis): http://www.guccimasters.com/en. The downloadable press pack is unusually good. The Rolex Top 10 Final (no Brits of course) takes place tonight starting 20.40 GMT and will be online at www.equidia.fr - however I tried registering on the site and I've not been sent the activation email as promised. Sunday's Grand Prix is also due to be shown.
At the Porto 4* we have William Whitaker, Mark Armstrong, Dan Neilson, Phillip Spivey & David McPherson: http://www.csiporto.com/2009/conteudo.php?cat=3&lang=en&Ano=2009
At Graz 3* Louise Morley & Anna Rees. Also there are GB-Born Jamie Wingrave, half-Brit Thomas Weinberg, & Australia's Matt Williams who was based here for quite a while.

Jemma Kirk is back at Hengelo and Chris Moyce at Barcelona 2*: same websites as last week's shows.

You really need to delete some PMs!

My activation email went straight to 'junk' the other day so make sure you check there. I tried to watch the Marseille (sp?) replay the other day to no avail, so hopefully i'll have better luck with Paris tonight.

Thanks - I had thought that might happen with their email and checked a while back, but still no sign!

I wish Admin would do something about proper alerts when PMs are full. Will try & clear some asap.

Top Ten riders, Rolex,second round, Gucci Masters Paris, just finished. Thrilling jump off, Plot Blue, followed by Rolf Goran.Hickstead third, Kevin Staut fourth and Oki Doki fifth.Lovely interview from Marcus, very unassuming and modest.
What a class rider and horse, well done indeed.

and Jos Lansink has won the GP on Valentina which will make up for being second in the Global Champions Tour final a bit.
