British Olympic team gold medalist Ben Maher’s Tripple X III has been sold to Eric Lamaze’s Torrey Pines Stable.
Maher revealed the news on his official Twitter account: “We can confirm that my Olympic partner Tripple X III has been sold to Torrey Pines Stable. We wish them every success.”
The 12-year-old stallion was bred and trained by Maher, and in addition to several major grand prix wins the pair were also on the bronze medal team at the 2011 European Championships in Madrid, and were part of the gold medal winning team at the 2012 London Olympic Games
It has not been confirmed who will be riding the horse. Tripple X had been part of a court battle between Maher and part-owners Mike and Emma Phillips, who were seeking the sale of the horse as part of a civil suit claiming that he had made £700,000 in “secret profits” from sales of their horses over an eight-year span.
