Our stallion Whitaker jumped his first
CSI*** Grand Prix in Balve last week. In his first 1.50m Grand Prix he
jumped a fantastic clear round, an unfortunate time penalty kept Caroline
and Whitaker out of the jump off. They finished in 9th place in the final
result. The Grand Prix was won by Meredith Michaels Beerbaum.
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.
