On Sunday Victor Bettendorf jumped to glory winning his first Rolex Grand Prix title! Speaking after the class, Bettendorf said: “As first to go, I was trying to go quickly in the jump-off but I didn’t have the best stride into the combination, which I thought slowed me down. After my round, I thought ok, I will finish behind Ben and Matthew for sure, but I was lucky they were a bit slower."
"I’ve been dreaming about this green [Rolex] blanket for a while, so I’m really proud and happy to win one. I’m really grateful." The Luxembourgisch rider continues.
Reflecting on Royal Windsor Horse Show, he continued: “I love to compete in Great Britain. It’s always a wonderful atmosphere with horse people all around, and you feel really welcome, so every time I love to compete in Great Britain.”
Staying ahead
“Jack had a very good round, but I had an advantage as I had managed to watch his round before I got on, so I knew what I had to do. I wasn’t that confident, as he [Atchoum de La Roque Z] had three down in the big class yesterday, but he felt really good today, so I’m really happy to end the week like this with him.”
