Form Guide CSI5* ROLEX GRAND PRIX SUNDAY 13 MAY 2023

PREVIOUS WINNERS, RATINGS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE CSI5* ROLEX GRAND PRIX

Four horses to follow for the final day.

The Favourite: Ben Maher & Explosion W (798)

The Olympic champion is the class horse in the field but a 10 month absence from top level means they could be rusty.

Hometown Hero: Harry Charles & Balou du Reventon (754) At 17, the runs are carefully selected but Windsor 2023 meets the criteria. Still potentially the Olympic horse for Paris.

The One to Watch: Max Kühner & Elektric Blue P Second here in this class last year and an impressive 63.3% clear rate at 160 maintained over the past 12 months. They could be serious contenders this weekend.

The Rising Star: Kent Farrington & Landon

Hard to believe Landon is only 10. With an Elo of 738, Landon is the second-highest rated 10- year-old in the sport today.

These are the previous winners of the CSI5* Rolex Grand Prix at Royal Windsor Horse Show

The Olympic champion starts as favourite but there are challenges from all the age groups and all the nations

Elo Ratings & How we rank horses The EquiRatings Elo is an objective horse rating. It was inspired by others who likewise adapted the Elo from a chess rating to a sports rating (for the likes of the FIFA World Cup, NFL, and NBA). In the Elo system, a horse gains Elo points based on the quality of horses he beats and a horse loses Elo points based on the quality of horses who finish ahead of him(counting only CSI4*/5* events at 150 and above). Every horse starts their international jumping career on an Elo of 520. The all-time record Elo is an 804 (reached by Explosion W in 2021). Win chances Win chances are based on EquiRatings modelling which is developed using historical results, horse experience and horse ability (based on clear rates and Elo ratings). Using these inputs, a predictive model calculates the likelihood of a rail, speed and jump-off performance. We simulate the competition to then determine the win chances.

Strong pair with lots of experience under their belt. Great track record at 155 with 2 wins out of 3 in 2023, but could improve on 160 clear rate.
