Eventing Manager: The Aachen Launch

The World Championships market is open, which means one thing: it's time to build your team.

Sam Watson is joined by Annie Bishop and Brayden Lissington for their first reaction to the 2026 Eventing Manager market. From Laura Collett and London 52 topping the prices to the value picks further down the list, they explain how they're approaching team selection, debate the biggest decisions, and reveal the five combinations making their first draft teams.

Along the way, they dive into championship strategy, why cross-country reliability matters more than ever, whether it's worth backing your favourites or picking with your head instead of your heart, and share plenty of tips to help you build your team before the market closes.
