Dutch rider Jur Vrieling got off to a flying start at the Toscana Tour in Arezzo on Sunday, winning the CSI3* Grand Prix on VDL Glasgow vh Merelsnest. The 10-year-old stallion by Nabab de Reve x Darco was one of twelve horses moving on to round two in this 1.50 competition counting for the Longines Ranking, where he again displayed his talent to go clear stopping the clock on 44.66 seconds. 

Ukraine's Cassio Rivetti and the lovely Fine Fleur du Marais (Toulon x Cento) followed behind as runners-up, crossing the finish line in 45.23 seconds while the third place went to Swiss rider Jane Richard Philipps aboard Pablo de Virton (Andiamo x Kashmir van't Schuttershof). 

Two more riders produced second clears: Italy's own Emilio Bicocchi who ended fourth and Belgium's Christophe Leutenez who finished fifth.
