A Danish lady to receive her first Warsaw CSIO4* gold.

Right about early afternoon set off the first CSIO4* of this year’s edition – the two-phase 140 cm competition for the prize of Tor Służewiec, under the patronage of Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia Rolnictwa.

Having jumped a clear round in the first phase, the Danish Zascha Nygaard Lill on the Glosokka mare made it to the top of the podium. The winner was clearly upbeat about the horse’s performance. It is always nice to win and I am happy with my horse. She is really fast, really careful. She always gives her best in a course. She’s just a fun to ride. – that is how Zascha complimented on the 12-year-old chestnut. I enjoy the show a lot. I think you have done a lot since I was here four years ago for the last time. It has developed really, really well.

Battle for Lotto Grand Prix resolved

The last competition of the day was the Lotto Grand Prix qualifier – a 150 cm speed contest, Longines Ranking contribution for the prize of Polski Związek Jeździecki, under the patronage of Onet Przegląd Sportowy, with the pool reaching 28,200 euros.

The riders did their utmost. As many as 22 out of 55 got a clear one. The outcome of first rivalry saw the British Mark Edwards with Royale Tale reach the top.

It’s a superb start of the show. The aim of the day was to try to win that class with Royale Tale and she got well in there. The course was a 150 ranking class, so it was big from the word ‘go’, and there were a couple of big verticals, so to finish it was a tough challenge. – admitted the winner joyously.
