Defending World Cup Champion has to cancel journey to Omaha

While Glock's Voice and Edward Gal were praring to travel to the USA bad news came from defending Worldcup champion Hans Peter Minderhoud. His top horse Glock Flirt has an injury and because of that the pair cannot compete at the World Cup Final in Omaha.

Yesterday during the preparation the team had Flirt out for a walk and notice his walk was off. Further investigation by a veterinarian  indeed revealed that the gelding had a minor injury. Thus Minderhoude must opt out on defending his title.
