Saturday March 19th 2005, the stallion Solitair (Voltaire x Libero H) won the first Qualification of the Damhus Cup for 6-year-old jumping horses. Solitair got the high mark 8,4 and that made him the convincing winner over the other competitors. The Damhus Cup is a series of 4 competitions and a final and is highly valued by the German National Top Riders.
The offspring of Numero Uno were in top form again last week. Nero Z
(ds.Lupicor, bred by Stal Meulendijks in Nuenen) claimed victory in the
1.45m two-phase class at CSI2* Vejer de la Frontera with Mans Thijssen.
Eduardo Alvarez Aznar added another strong result to the record of the
French-bred D’Orient Batilly. With this gelding, sired by Numero Uno and
bred by Jean-Claude Viollet (ds.Quaprice Bois Margot), the Spanish rider
secured second place in the 1.50m Grand Prix at CSI3* Valencia.
