Fast clear rounds from Great Britain’s Jack Whitaker, Belgium’s Olivier Philippaerts and Italian champion Luca Marziani gave Team Jumping Verona the honours in the brand new Scuderia 1918 team competition on last Saturday afternoon.
Whitaker, Philippaerts and Marziani were selected to represent the Jumping Verona side along with Spain’s Sergio Alvarez Moya and Brazil’s Marlon Zanotelli. They took on a mighty side representing Scuderia 1918 that included Italy's Lorenzo De Luca and Giulia Martinengo Marquez, Jessica Springsteen, Daniel Deusser and Kevin Staut. However it was still three sets to two for Jumping Verona and their patron Armado Di Ruzza who won the day! Scuderia 1918's patron Emmanuele Anchisi, had to settle for runner-up spot but on an afternoon of beautiful sport in aid of charity there were no losers!
