Henk van de Pol and Chesterfield were the winners of the Trofeo NH Hoteles in La Coruna Saturday evening. The 1.50 class was with a winning round which gave the Dutch rider the win with a clear and fast second round even though he had four faults in the first round. On-form rider Laura Renwick kept up her great performances from last weekend in San Patrignano and secured second place. Riding Oz de Breve (Dollar du Murier x Grand Veneur) Renwick was double clear, but was 0,09 seconds away from taking the win. The winner of the 1.45 class yesterday, Pedro Veniss, came third with Norlan des Estisses (Quidam de Revel x Uriel). Also this combination was double clear, but nearly a second slower than the winner.
