Dutchman Eric van der Vleuten continues his good relation with Casas Novas winning the Dachser Trophy
It was also a great day for Eric van der Vleuten, who did not disappoint his fans in La Coruna. The rider proved his skills and claimed the victory in the Dachser Trophyriding Wunschkind 19, a horse that took him to victory with a time of 42.74 seconds. He was also in second place at the NH Collection Trophy.
Van der Vleuten can consider A Coruña and Casas Novas his second home, since the Galician fashion company Massimo Duttiis his sponsor and his name is included in the list of winners at the equestrian center. His last triumph is very recent, as it was in the last winter edition, where he was awarded, precisely, with the Massimo Dutti Trophy.
The test began with the third series of the day, where Spanish and French were the majority; only Ismael García Roque managed to complete the course without faults. As expected, in the following series were added more riders with no penalties who accompanied García Roque. This helped them to earn a place in the tiebreaker for the riders like Gerardo Menéndez Mieres(also Spanish), Eric van der Vleuten, Alexis Deroubaix, Gerco Schröderor Alexandra Paillot.
The audience felt again something that they surely missed: the emotion of a tiebreaker in Casas Novas. And the six binomials that played in it did not disappoint, because they made their best effort on the track.
Ismael García Roque competed on the back of Astoria Jo but he knocked down a fence and could not take the victory. The following was Alexis Deroubaix, who would remain in first place with Secret du Pays d'Auge and 43.29 seconds until Eric van der Vleuten appeared in the track riding Wunschkind 19 and no one was able to overcome his 42.74 seconds. The third box of the podium was for the other Spanish of the race, Gerardo Menéndez Mieres, riding Costello DC and an excellent time of 43.33 seconds.
With 40 pairs and four series of bets plus the jump off, the Dachser Trophy was the perfect culmination of this Friday at the CSI, with the most awarded riders working their hearts out. There were demolitions and horses that stopped, which attests to the technical requirement of the route.
TOMORROW, THREE TROPHIES AND A LOT OF EMOTION TO DISPUTE
Equestrian fans and those who simply want to enjoy the excitement and competitiveness of one of the most technical sports will have tomorrow-another day to enjoy.
At 11:30 a.m. it will be the turn of the Marqués de Riscal Trophy, afterwards at 2:30 p.m. the Lexus Trophywill begin. The highlight of the day will be the Longines Trophyat 5:30 p.m.
The luck was elusive in the inaugural day of the CSI 4 * of A Coruña for the Spanish horsemen, who tomorrow will have opportunity to hear the national anthem in the equestrian enclosure.
The organization has launched a streaming live on the web www.csicasasnovas.com with comments in Spanish and English to follow the development of all the tests of the contest.
