Shared victory for Bart Bles and Wilton Porter in Grand Prix Arnhem

In the Netherlands the weekend concluded with a Grand Prix of the provence of Gelderland at Outdoor Gelderland. This threestar Big Tour course on 1m55 did not have one, but two winners. The course was also a qualifier for the EU CH in Gothenburg 2017 and the WEG in Tryon 2018. It was Dutch rider Bart Bles who in the saddle of his Lord Sandro Dhd went for the victory. With thirteen combinations in the jump-off he knew he had to be fast with the Lordanos son. With a time of 39.82 seconds he crossed the finishline. But he wasn't the only one... For America it was Wilton Porter who trains with Dutch toprider Jeroen Dubbeldam, who also finished in this exact same time. With his Caletto Cabana (by Cassini I) he also stayed clear of the jumps and ended in first place as well. This put Dutch rider Johnny Pals in third place with his Chat Botte du Ruisseau Z (by Casall) with whom he finished in 40.14 seconds. Following in fourth place was Belgium's Annelies Vorsselmans and her Wilandro 3 (by Unistar) with whom she crossed the chromo in 40.42 seconds. In fifth place it was Germany's Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and her Daisy (by Excenel V) in 41.43 seconds.     Find all results here
