It was Emanuele Gaudiano (ITA) and Carlotta 232 that were the quickest in Friday’s CSIYH Future Stars Godiva Prize. This was the second competition for the 7- and 8-year old horses at the Brussels Stephex Masters, and it went against the clock over a height of 1.35-1.40m. Gaudiano is well known for his speed in the ring, and today was no different as he raced around to the fastest time of the class aboard the 7-year-old mare by Chaccomo x Cento. Patrick Mc Entee (AZE) and the 8-year-old mare April Mury Marais Z (Air Jordan Z x Quinar Z) finished as runners-up, almost five seconds behind Gaudiano’s incredible time. Three more 8-year-olds followed: Third place went to yesterday’s Future Stars winners Jérôme Guery (BEL) and Instit de Jucaso (Cooper van de Heffinck x Darco x Marc Quertenmont), while Kevin Staut (FRA) and Unna de Kerglenn (Cap Kennedy*Bois Margot x Diamant de Semilly) were fourth and Markus Beerbaum fifth with Contina R (Contendro I x Coleur Rubin).
