After her CHIO5* Grand Prix victory in Rotterdam earlier this summer, Dutch, Sanne Thijssen has now also claimed the CSI4* Grand Prix Sentower Park. She counted on her trusted Con Quidam RB (Quinar x Cardino, breeder: Broecking Zg). for this victory.
A total of four combinations qualified for the Jump-Off in this 1.55m class. All four kept the rails on point ending faultless. Thijssen was about half a second faster as Brazil's Olympic rider, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli and Like A Diamond van het Schaeck (Diamant de Semilly x Bamako de Muze).
The third place was taken by Germany's Kendra Claricia Brinkop aboard the 9-year-old Nabab de Reve-son, Malibu de Muze. The pair was over one second faster as Angelie von Essen and Alcapone des Carmille (Diamant de Semilly).
Two combinations had difficulties with the time allowed in the first round. Placing Belgium's Gilles Thomas, with one time penalty, in a fifth place aboard Konak (NAbab de Reve).
