No one beats Henrik von Eckermann and Dzara Dorchival in World Cup Madrid

The CSI5*-W 1.50m Caser Grupo Helvetia Trophy of the Madrid Horse Week was won by Henrik von Eckermann aboard of Dzara Dorchival.

In the saddle of the nine-year-old Jumper d'Oase (breeder: Fr Kommers), a KWPN gelding by Vigo d'Arsouilles, Thibault Philippaerts (BEL) had to yield only to the world number one, Henrik von Eckermann. The Swede relied on the ten-year-old Dzara Dorchival (Qlassic Bois Margot, breeder: Sebastien Fonck) to complete the 1.50m high course without faults and was two seconds faster than Philippaerts. Brother Olivier narrowly secured a spot, finishing twelfth on Le Blue Diamond v't Ruytershof (Plot Blue).

Ben Maher (GBR) completed the podium with Enjeu de Grisien (Toulon). In fourth place was Harry Allen (IRL) with Calculatus (Cachassini), followed by Eduardo Alvarez Aznar (ESP) and D'Orient Batilly (Numero Uno).
