There's just no holding back of Emanuele Gaudiano. On Nikolaj de Music, the Italian jumped to another victory, this time the CSI5*W 1.50m class, the Grand Prix Qualifier in Sharjah!
With nine combinations to go in the Longines Grand Prix Qualifier, Emanuele Gaudiano was currently at the top of the leaderboard with Nikolaj de Music (by Kannan). The duo improved the then best time by as much as four seconds.
Time went by and with each combination that passed, Gaudiano only became more certain of his victory. The provisional podium had no less than three BWP bred horses at the top. Nikolaj de Music led the standings followed by Z7 Ipswich (by Carembar de Muze) under Shane Breen and My Prins van Dorperheide (by Zilverstar T) with David Will at three.
Third last to go, Gerfried Puck came to disrupt that top three. On Equitron Melody vd Smidshoeve (by Epleaser van t Heike), also a BWP horse (!), the Austrian snatched the bronze from Germany's David Will. The very last in the arena was Abdurakhmon Abdullaev with Caballone (by Catoki). They didn't manage to shake up the top three and the winner was known.
