Britain tops the team standings in the Olympic eventing dressage results at the conclusion of the first phase today at the Tokyo Games.

Britain’s third rider, Tom McEwen, scored 28.9 – overall he was pleased with Toledo De Kerser, owned by Fred and Penny Barker, Jane Inns and Tom’s mother Ali and he scored some strong marks in the trot and later canter work. But some lower marks in walk – the horse’s weakest pace – and a late first flying change and subsequently rushed second change pulled the marks down to 28.9.
