German victory in the Rotterdam Topsport Prijs
In today's Rotterdam Topsport prize, German rider Daniel Deusser kept 22 other combinations in the jump-off at bay to claim victory. Kevin Staut (FRA) and Blackonda finished second, while another German combination, Angelie von Essen and Conchella took third place. Best home rider was Dutchman Maikel van der Vleuten with Snoes, with a seventh place.
Many of the combinations made it to the jump-off, a sign of the high quality jumping they managed to produce. Deusser, the current world number 1, held nothing back in his bid for the fastest time. His horse's feet touched the poles in two obstacles, but luckily for him, they did not fall down. This ensured his win in the Rotterdam Topsport Prize.
