EQUESTRIAN PA Auckland The top three placegetters in the open intermediate horse trial at Clevedon on Sunday could hardly have been closer, only three-quar-ters of a point separating them. Matthew Grayling (Taranaki) on Focus, was first after going clear in the show jumping and across country. Blyth Tait and Messiah

(Pukekohe), had the best dressage score of 29.5, but a rail down in the show jumping added five to his score and placed him second. Joanne Shepherd (Kaitaia) and Delta, twice winners of the Bell Tea northern horse trials circuit points prize — of which this was the third trial in the 1989 series — were third, with 34.75. Jason Scott (Waikato) won the Bell Tea Young Rider trial on Mannix with a dressage score of 18.25 and was clear in the other two phases. A Northland rider, Angela Mcßrearty on Candidate, had 23.5 penalties for second and Tanya Taylor (Papatoetoe) third on Epee, 23.75. Results: Novice division I: L. McAteer (Auckland), Kaiser, 1; S.
