Difficult Grand Prix Sopot for Cian O'Connor




In Poland the international competition ended today with a 1m60 Grand Prix that proved quite difficult. The five star competition was held over two rounds, with only three riders remaining without any faults in both rounds. The course was a qualifier for the EU CH and the WEG in Tyron 2018.

Irish Rider Cian O'Connor kept his head cool over both rounds in the saddle of his Good Luck (by Canturo). The pair impressed with a double clear round in 47.59 seconds winning the grand prize of 204.000 Polish Zloty (48.740 euros). The Portuguese rider Luciana Diniz followed closely on her beautifull little mare Fit For Fun (by For Pleasure) by finishing with two clear rounds in 48.77 seconds.

It was then Dutch rider Marc Houtzager and his Sterrehof's Calimero (by Quidam de Revel) who also completed the course with two clear rounds. The pair finished in third place with 48.63 seconds on the clock. Ondrej Zvara and Cento Lano (by Cento Lano) finished in fourth place with one penalty in both rounds and a time of 49.26 seconds.

Dutch Rider Doron Kuipers completed the top five with his Charly (by Calido I) with also one penalty in both rounds. Their time was 51.05 seconds putting them in fifth place.
