Only two riders managed to produce double clears in Friday night's 1.50m De Telegraaf Prize at CSI4* Jumping Amsterdam, and it was home rider Sanne Thijssen that was the fastest to take home a popular win. Riding the 10-year-old Celine M Z (Crusador x Orame), the Dutch talent was over three seconds faster than runner-up Manuel Fernandez Saro (ESP) on Cuidam (Verdi x Chellano) in round two.
With a time fault in the first round, and a clear in the second, Rolf-Göran Bengtsson (SWE) and Oak Grove´s Carlyle (Casall x Corrado I) took the third place while Ben Schröder (NED) and Davino Q (Vingino x Monaco) – last weekend's winners of the CSI3* Grand Prix of Drachten – finished fourth with the same result. With the fastest time in round two but one pole down, Eric van der Vleuten (NED) had to settle for fifth with Wunschkind 19 (Casall x Caletto I).
