Reigning Belgian champion Gilles Thomas is unstoppable! After previously finishing third and second, the Belgian rider claimed victory today with the nine-year-old Qalista DN (breeder: Wim De Nul). The pair won the 1.50m Small Grand Prix! Andres Vereecke also shone on the podium.
In this two-phase special, Gilles Thomas rode the nine-year-old BWP mare, Qalista DN (Emerald van 't Ruytershof) to victory. The duo finished just under two seconds ahead of Sanne Thijssen and her 11-year-old Cooper van de Heffinck son, Cum Laude. Thijssen nearly secured both second and third place, but Andres Vereecke disrupted that plan.
Vereecke guided Joris de Brabander’s 13-year-old Zangersheide mare, Call Me De Muze Z (Clarissimo Z) to a flawless third-place finish. This pushed Eden Leprévost Blinlebreton and Barbie de la Roque Z (For Hero de Hus) into fourth place. Sanne Thijssen completed the top five with her 10-year-old mare, Lolandria Z (Quidam de Revel).
