Spanish “King of Speed” wins GLOCK’s 2* Tour

Things were moving pretty fast today in the GLOCK’s 2* Tour over 1.45 m. In the course over 480 metres, the 27 participating duos had several opportunities to save time by tight line management. And one man managed to do this to perfection.
Spanish rider Ismael Garcia Roque led his KWPN mare Durania K safely and incredibly fast through the test, achieving the best time at 64.25 seconds. “I didn’t think I would be able to win – certainly not with such a margin”, he said in the winner’s interview.

Not even the “young and wild” winner of the CSI2* Opening Jumping competition on Thursday, Lucas Porter (USA), came near this. With twelve-year-old Diamonte Darco he came second, also penalty-free and in 69.07 seconds. Shortly behind him was Denis Nielsen (GER) and DSP Cashmoaker with a time of 69.68 seconds, coming third. Best Austrian rider once again was Theresa Pachler (NÖ), gaining fifth place in the saddle of Acorada 11 (0/71.80).
