Yesterday's main class in Alberta, Canada, at Spruce Meadows, was 1.55m high. At the end, Nayel Nassar was in the lead with 13-year-old Darry Lou. Darry Lou was the last CSIO5* Grand Prix winner at Spruce Meadows. "Exceptional that not the rider, but the horse is in the running to be defending champion," Nassar announced afterwards.
Nassar and the KWPN son of Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve thus left behind Eric Lamaze with Fine Lady 5 (Forsyth). In third place in this 1.55m, Kyle King lined up with Magic Mike. The son of Zapatero VDL comes from the breeding of J.H. Koers.
Together with Hamilton (ex. Quatre Bras VDL), Tiffany Foster followed in fourth place. Eduardo Menezes completed the top five in the saddle of H5 Chaganus.
