Bethany Vos won the 1.20m at Jumping Amsterdam this morning with 17-year-old SBS’er Asterix. The combination rode a fantastic jump-off and set the winning time of 26.87 seconds on the scoreboard. She was 2.5 seconds faster than Marianne Wortel with the 12-year-old KWPN Golden. Marée Jansen took third place with the 15-year-old KWPN gelding Dialinde.

‘I want to win as much as possible in the Children this year’

Victory in this class came as a surprise to Bethany, ”I didn’t expect it to go so well. I’m often zero with him, though, so I did start the jump-off feeling good. I never say in advance that I’m going to win. I did plan to have a very fast jump-off. I want to win as much as possible with Asterix at the Children this year.”
