Edited press release from the Morocco Royal Tour
Khaled Almobty (KSA) and Davenport VDL (Diamant de Semilly x Indoctro) won Saturday's CSI4*-W 1.50m Prix CDG at the Morocco Royal Tour in El Jadida.
“I’m so happy," he said. "I've got a wonderful horse who's just come back from a period of rest, and he's won this same event for the second time in a week, this time with a double clear round. He’s the perfect size, and I know exactly how to manage his speed on the ground, it's a joy to have a horse like him... Thank you, Davenport…and one thing's for sure, I'll be here again next year, you can count on me,” Almobty – who is on his third visit to the Morocco Royal Tour – said.
Jessica Burke (IRL) and African Affair (Billy Congo x Tom Rolfe XX) took the runner-up spot, followed by Nico Lupino (ITA) and Fabalia (Bustique x Starsky de Brix) in third, El Ghali Boukaa (MAR) and Chester N (Cornet's Prinz x Argentinus) in fourth and Adrian Schmid (SUI) aboard Chicharito 11 (Casalito x Quo Vados) in fifth.
