Baird, Lindberg And Cian Looking Strong

Day 2 of King Edward VII Gold Cup sees delays and penalties

HAMILTON, Bermuda (Oct. 10, 2007) — As the rounds robin at the King Edward VII Gold Cup wind down, time's running out for some crews in Hamilton, Bermuda.

The three group leaders - American Ed Baird, Staffan Lindberg of Finland and Italy's Paolo Cian - are all undefeated at 4-0.

Second in each group - Bermudian Blythe Walker, Mathieu Richard of France and Glenn Astwood, also of Bermuda - have one loss each and control their destiny.

Behind the top two in each group a mad scramble's about to ensue.

The top two from each group at the end of round robin racing advance to the Quarterfinal Round. Third and fourth from each group advance to the second chance Repechage Round, from which the top two advance to the quarterfinals.

That means that accomplished skippers such as New Zealander-cum-Californian Scott Dickson, Sweden's Magnus Holmberg and Bjorn Hansen, and American Sally Barkow, a past Women's Match Racing World Champion, could be eliminated tomorrow.
