Abdel Saïd winner of the biggest class at the CSI4* a Coruña

Press Release A Coruna – The Casas Novas Equestrian Centre hosts until Sunday the thirty second edition of the International Show Jumping where 166 horses and riders from 18 different countries compete.

The biggest class of the CSI4* has not disappointed. Egyptian Abdel Saïd won the NH Collection class and all the public applaud him so much thanks to quick action on the back of Hope Van Scherpen Donder, which ended without any fault and with a time of 55.78 seconds. Meanwhile,Brazil achieved his first podium with second place achieved by Luiz Francisco de Azevedo and Collin, who finished with 59.28 seconds. Both surpassed American Reed Kessler, who was for a long time in the first place with Cos I Can, but finally ended third. Fourth and fifth were Dutch Leopold Van Asten with VDL Groep Miss Untouchable (60.26) and Frenchman Patrice Delaveau with the great Orient Express HDC (60,61). Delaveo was third in the smallest class, the Turkish Airlines Trophy with Uthophe de la Roque. The first Spanish ranked was Armando Trapote, with Macao, just one tenth of the Italian Giulia Martinengo, who closed the top ten with 62.68 seconds.

The pair made by Maikel Van der Vleuten and Salomon was the winner of the Azkar Trophy, the last class of the CSI4* A Coruna played under a Jump Off table and with a height of 1,45m. The Dutch rider performed an incredible course, which opens a window in the upcoming Olympic Games of Rio.

Out of the 47 pairs that took place in the class, 18 were qualified for the Jump Off. Among them were five Spanish riders: Sergio Álvarez Moya, Chechu Torres, Santiago Nuñez, Paola Amilibia and Iván Serrano.

The favorite for the ones keen on betting was the Dutch Leopold van Asten, who came second into the arena and stopped the time in 39,15 seconds, which led him into the lead until the French Patrice Delaveau beat him 38,80. In the end, it was Maikel Van del Vleuten with Salomon who brilliantly won the class with a time difference of 0,37 seconds from Delaveau. Last to go, Gudrun Patteet was really close to the victory but a fault in the last fence brought her away from the podium.

Competition will start tomorrow at 11:30 with the Porsche Trophy, followed by the Marques de Riscal and Longines Trophy (1,55m Winning Round).
