At Sentower Park in Opglabbeek the very competitive Longines Ranking 1m45 two phases special class on 4*-level has come to an end. Seventeen participants were able to jump the whole course clear and it seemed for a moment that Belgium's Wilm Vermeir had set the fastest time. Unfortunately for him, the Swedish top rider Henrik Von Eckermann put a stop to that at the end, winning the class for the second time in a row.
Today Henrik van Eckermann was again in the saddle of the 11-year-old BWP mare Luna Vd Mespel (by Hos d'O), the horse he also won with on Wednesday. Today they were unstoppable once again and they were able to win the class in a time of 33.62 seconds.
The Belgian rider Wilm Vermeir was in the lead for a long time, but in the end it wasn't meant to be. With the eleven-year-old BWP mare Linguini de la Pomme (by Marius Claudius) he ended in second place in a time of 34.71 seconds. Vermeir also won the 4* 1m50 class yesterday and so he's doing very well at Sentower Park.
Mouda Zeyada jumped the Emerald van't Ruytershof mare Katia to a third place. They stayed ahead of Dieter Vermeiren, who finished in fourth place with the BWP mare Noblesse (by I Am Moerhoeve's Star). Marlon Modolo Zanotelli completed the top five with Harwich VDL (by Arezzo VDL).
