The CSIO5* Longines Grand Prix Qualifier just took place in Abu Dhabi. Over a height of 1.50m the riders fought for the victory in this qualification. A lot of risks were taken in the separate jump-off to bring home that gold. In the end it was Emanuele Gaudiano who proved to be the fastest.
Emanuele Gaudiano could count on his BWP gelding Nikolaj de Music (by Kannan) to set the winning time of 33.48 seconds. Constant van Paesschen and Diaz du Thot (by Ready Boy des Forets 'hn') were in top form and rode to second place in a time of 34.01 seconds. Oliver Lazarus sent his Butterfly Ennemmel (by Quaprice Bois Margot) to third place in 34.35 seconds.
Wilm Vermeir (Iq van het Steentje) secured a Belgian fourth place. Evelina Tovek (Winnetou de la Hamente Z) settled for fifth place.
In the CSI5* Speed Stakes it was once again Emanuele Gaudiano who claimed victory.
The fastest clear round was set by Italian Emanuele Gaudiano and the legendary Chalou (by Chacco-Blue). With a time of 57.24 seconds, they were just over two tenths of a second too fast for Constant van Paesschen with Verdi Treize (by Diamant De Semilly). They finished second. The bronze was for SF.Equestrian rider Bart Bles with Grenoble Dn (Gaillard de la Pomme).
Donald Whitaker and Feodina finished fourth, ahead of Mohammed Shafi H. Al Rumaithi with Caramba.
