Déjà vu with Walk of Life – Allan Skov also wins the Inter I – Timna Zach (Carinthia) in fifth!

The judges were in agreement today over the Intermediate I, which counts as the qualifier for tomorrow’s Intermediate I Freestyle. Allan Skov (DEN) convinced the jury of his skill on 13-year-old Wolkentanz II son Walk Of Life, received good marks throughout of up to 8.5 points for example for extended trot, medium trot and flying changes every second stride. Four of the five judges placed him first and one second, which with a total of 75.921% meant his second win here at the GLOCK HORSE PERFORMANCE CENTER.

With great enthusiasm, GLOCK rider Hans Peter Minderhoud again presented nine-year-old KWPN stallion GLOCK’s Ziesto today. The Lancet son showed wonderful freedom in the shoulder and elasticity, even got a nine for his outstanding medium trot and with a final score of 74.789% placed second — as yesterday in the Prix St Georges. Valentina Truppa (ITA) was also in the placings yesterday on Fixdesign Ranieri, finishing third. She again claimed third today but at 70.447% her score was much higher this time.

GLOCK young rider Timna Zach on GLOCK’s Federleicht proved today that her brilliant achievement yesterday as best Austrian in fifth was by no means a flash in the pan. With a smoothly ridden test and a total of 69.237%, the Carinthian again produced the best local performance for another top result: fifth. 

Also placed were the young Lower Austrian rider Tatjana Svehla with her ten-year-old Hanoverian gelding Donaublick and 69.079% in sixth, Styria’s Martina Knill with 10-year-old Robbespiere — also a Rohdiamant son — and 69.000% in seventh and Karin Kosak (Styria) with Florestan progeny Florentino and 66.868% in eleventh.

The twelve pairs placed will compete against each other tomorrow in the grand final of the CDI3*, the CDI3* Intermediate I Freestyle, and with the four who have qualified Austria has good chances of top results.
