Rolex Slam...

[Mercury91]

If the people at Rolex have a half a brain they would present the Couple with a check for $ 250,000 US and also sign them to a Promotional deal. Dont make it an officail slam... But the return on marketing of a husband and wife pulling this off is well worth the money!

 

[severnmiles]

Seconded! They deserve it!

 

[haybales]

i dont think they should get the prize money as that would just make a farce of the whole concept of a grand slam. but do think a gesture in kind would be nice for them!

 

[skye123]

agree

 

[Mercury91]

I agree the $ 250K is for promational... they would have to work for it... Not call it a slam... didnt mean it to sound that way... No comparison to Pippa Just a great opp for the sport and Rolex

I think they're is. Cinda only has one 4* horse and she's won Badders and Burghley with one mare.

Though you could argue that Pippa won Kentucky and Burghley on the same horse so Primmores Pride in that way is equal to Headley Britannia....

If I had a few hundred grand to to give away - I'd give her an award
The Mrs T award

I think there could well be something in it for them, go Brit!

Can some one explain the Brit Part? I know I am from the US but please help

 

[Bess]

The Brit part is from the horse's name Headley Brittania.

Yes but she had two each at Badminton and Burghley....double the chance

Lucinda had one at both events.

Brit is Headly Britannias stable name.

To win both events back to back on a little mare that owed them absolutely nothing is fabulous.
