Douglas Duffin finishes 3rd
in CSIO 3* Drammen Grand Prix
A superb double clear, one of only four achieved within the CSIO 3* Grand Prix at Drammen, placed Douglas Duffin 3rd in a hard fought Grand Prix which was won by Gregory Wathelet for Belgium with Quasi Modo Z.
Gregory’s second-round time of 37.37 seconds was enough for him to secure pole position with Jur Vriel-ing for the Netherlands and Arezzo slotting into 2nd place in a time of 39.95 seconds. Douglas and Quidam BZ an 11 year-old bay stallion he jointly owns with Richard Jenkinson looked superb in both rounds, build-ing on the clear that they delivered in the second round of the Nations Cup on Friday. Stopping the clock just a fraction of a second slower in a time of 40.33 seconds they relegated Daniel Svensson for Sweden, the only other double clear competitor, into 4th posi-tion.
Paul Kennedy for Ireland with Cartown Danger Mouse took 5th whilst GB’s James Billington, who is based in the Netherlands, and VDL Cartello a 9 year-old grey stallion owned by VDL Stud finished in 6th place. Clear in the first round they incurred 4 penalties in the jump off within a very fast time of 38.26 seconds.
Joe Whitaker with Lola owned by Steven Whitaker and Dawn Makin, finished in 8th place. Again a great clear in the first round saw them qualify for the jump off, but a fence down resulted in 4 penalties accrued in their time of 39.27 seconds.
Kerry Brennan ensured a Union Flag was flying yester-day when she won the CSIO 3* Gold Small Tour Table A. Riding Dyanmic III, an 8 year-old bay gelding owned by Liane Smith she managed to put a time in almost four seconds ahead the rest of the field. Pal Flam for Norway took 2nd place with Bobby Balou in a time of 59.35 seconds well Pal’s fellow compatriot Ole Kris-toffer Meland took 3rd with Decorette in 59.76 seconds.
