On the road to Las Vegas.... Domino

Latest Results:

After suffering from a fall and elimination from the World Equestrian Games in 2014, Domino and his rider Jos Verlooy quickly moved on and won the Grand Prix of Los Angeles at the LA Masters with true style. The pair spent a few months competing in Northern America and had some top placings in World Cup qualifiers, including Thermal (14th), Del Mar (10th) and Las Vegas (26th). Shortly before the holidays they returned to Europe where they racked up some good results in Paris, London and a seventh place finish in the Mechelen Grand Prix. After a few weeks rest, Domino returned in full form and finished with four faults in both the Zurich and Bordeaux Grand Prix's. Their latest preparation for the World Cup Finals resulted in a sixth place finish in the CSI4* Braunschweig Grand Prix.

Statistics :

Between the months of October 2014 and March 2015, the top combination went clear over 1.60m courses three times out of thirteen outings. This gives us a percentage of 30%. On each occasion the score was no more than eight faults, which means it is more than possible for them to finish high in Las Vegas, giving the right conditions.  We wish them the best of luck on their journey over the Atlantic.
