Gudrun Patteet (BEL) continued her winning streak at the Sunshine Tour on Saturday, when taking the top honours in the CSI3* 1.45m small Grand Prix counting for the Longines Ranking. After her victory in Friday’s 1.50m class with Sea Coast Kashmira Z (Kashmir van't Schuttershof x Libero H), Patteet rode her long-time partner Sea Coast Pebbles Z (Picasso x Flamenco de Semilly) to the win on Saturday.
Twelve of the 57 horse-and-rider combinations in the class delivered clear rounds in the Milton-arena, to move on to the jump-off. With a time of 34.36, Patteet was only fractions faster than runners-up Henk van de Pol (NED) and Cash Sent (Verdi x Niveau) that stopped the clock at 34.57 seconds. Vincent Voorn (NED) and Explosion (Applaus x Numero Uno) followed in third place, with a time of 34.72 seconds. Olivier Perreau (FRA) and Chrysolite Fonroy (Scareface de Mars x Clown du Chesnay) finished fourth, while Johan-Sebastian Gulliksen (NOR) and Chaloubet (Balou du Rouet x Chapman) ended fifth.
