Patrice Delaveau dominates Rikstoto Grand Prix – Kühner placed
This years Kingsland Oslo Horse Show is slowly ending and now we are ahead of the most exciting classes. Saturday’s biggest class, the Rikstoto Grand Prix CSI5*-W with obstacles up to 1.60m, was won by Patrice Delaveau (FRA) who is in top shape at the moment. Aboard the 14-year old Holstein stallion Carinjo HDC (Cascavelle x Landgraf) he produced a perfect clear round in the jump-off in 39.21 seconds. Runner-up was one of the leading lady riders: Edwina Tops-Alexander (AUS). Her 11-year old mare Heidi du Ruisseau Z (Heartbreaker x Darco) jumped two fantastic rounds and a very fast faultless jump-off (40.99 seconds). The youngest rider of the class, Jessica Mendoza (GBR), finished in third position with her super mare Spirit T (Tornado x Carnaval Drum) with a clear round in the jumpf-off in 41.53 seconds.
Really pleasant from the austrian sight was another top-result for Max Kühner (T). Like yesterday he was riding the youngest horse of this class, his just 8-year old grey stallion Chardonnay (Clarimo x Corrado l). Chardonnay managed to stay perfectly clear again in the first round. His partner Max Kühner was riding a concentrated and calm jump-off but unfortunately had to see one pole falling in the end. Anyhow they could place 12th, which is a super result for such a young horse.
