Two out of two for Henrik von Eckermann and Glamour Girl! The world number one continues to reign ruthlessly, guiding the Dutch-bred mare to victory once again, this time in the CSI4* 1.50m Grand Prix of Doha.
Von Eckermann, still the world number one for a reason, could add another triumph to his list with the 13-year-old KWPN mare by Zirocco Blue (breeder: Stoeterij Gaesbeek). Simon Delestre's time with Dexter Fontenis Z, a Zangersheide gelding by Diarado from the breeding of S-Ky Horses, was almost a second slower than von Eckermann's. A second later, Gerfried Puck crossed the finish line with Equitron Naxcel V, securing the bronze with the stallion son of Balou du Rouet bred by Leo Vermeiren.
Janakabhorn Karunayadhaj (THA) claimed the fourth position after a faultless jump-off with Maxwin Kinmar Agalux (Aganix du Seigneur). The top five was concluded by French rider Jeanne Sadran, riding Unforgettable Damvil (San Patrignano Corrado, breeder: Nathalie Calamari).
