Laura Graves: "I definitely still have a shot"

While Isabell Werth is about to win her third World Cup in a row, Laura Graves, the number two of the world once again has one clear goal: beating Werth. She was very happy with the performance of her horse Verdades (f. Florett As) today: "I think it is well know that my horse is very sensitive to the atmosphere and everything happening around the arena. But today he was quite relaxed. That gives me a lot of confidence for tomorrow, because now I know exactly what to do".

Isabell Werth knows that the victory is not hers yet: "I look at this competition day by day. I may be on the lead now and Weihegold (f. Blue Horse Don Schufro) is in very good shape but I want to stay realistic, you never know what happens. I do know that Laura will do her absolute best tomorrow to take my first place".

Graves still believes she can win: "I definitely still have a shot. We came to Sweden with a very strong, American team so I will do my absolute best to take that World Cup with me to the US".
