Glock's Undercover into the lead

Jun 8, 2012

Edward Gal saved the best for last tonight at the Dutch Championships in Hoofddorp. He rode Glock's Undercover to the highest score in the Grand Prix, 75.766%. The judges were not quite unanimous about Gals victory. One judge saw him on a fifth place, the others placed Gal and his hotheaded son of Ferro first.

The places 2 - 7 were very tied. Ex aequo second again Edward Gal now on the Danish bred stallion Blue Hors Romanov and his partner Hans Peter Minderhoud aboard Glock's Tango (74.362%).

A bit disappointing was Anky van Grunsven's test. The 18 years old Olympic Champion Salinero had some troubles in the extended trot. The pair ended up fourth (73.83%). On the fifth spot Hans Peter Minderhoud on the beautiful mare Donna Silver (73.277%). The piaffe is the only exercise which needs progress.

Imke Schellekens and the impressive Hunter Douglas Toots reached the 6th place (73.191%). The pair had a fault in flying changes and the piaffe-passage on the centre line failed.

Edward Gal's third horse, Interfloor Next One, was placed 7th.
