William Whitaker takes 1.50m win in Barcelona

  No less than 21 combinations qualified for the 1.50 Queens Cup in Barcelona. In this two phase class the riders prepared for the Nations Cup finals tonight. A lot of the combinations also kept it clear in the jump-off. Eventually it was Great-Britain's William Whitaker who speeded to victory with the 14-year-old Last Liberty-son, Fandango. The pair stopped the clock in 36.58 seconds, finishing almost half a second faster as Belgium's Pieter Devos and his 9-year-old Zangersheide-mare, Claire Z (by Clearway). Devos placed second in 37.20 seconds and was followed by Tiffany Foster. Canada's Foster and her 11-year-old KWPN-gelding, Brighton (by Contendro) stopped the clock in 37.27 seconds and finished third. Henrik von Eckermann followed in a fourth place with the Chacco-Blue-stallion, Chacanno. The top five was completed by Steve Guerdat aboard Cayetana (by Robin II Z).   Click here for the results
