In the same 1.45m class at CSI4* Opglabbeek in which Leopold van Asten
finished fifth with VDL Groep Hutch (s.Numero Uno), Omer Karaevli and the
ten-year-old Istinov (Ustinov x Vegas, breeder Jean Dresen) performed even
better. In less than a second distance from the winner, they finished on
the third place.
At the national show in Heiden, Germany, Hendrik Dowe competed with
Donnergirl 19 (Donthargos x Lupicor, bred by Michael Steinbrecher), making
a strong impression.
Emanuele Gaudiano secured an Italian victory last Saturday with Vasco
118, a son of Vivant van de Heffinck. At the CSI5* in Fontainebleau, they
were the undisputed winners of the Table A 1.50m class.
