Emanuele Gaudiano took his second victory this afternoon in
the Marc Boers Flower Export prize with the 10-year-old Kingston van het
Eikenhof ( f. Epleaser van’t Heike) in the RAI. It was a narrow victory for the
Italian, who was followed by Doron Kuipers. The Dutchman was 0.01 seconds
slower in the saddle of the KWPN’er Fabulous (f. Harley VDL). Agustin
Covarrubias came third with the 13-year-old Larbraker (f. Larino). The Chilean
finished in a time of 48.10 seconds.

Great that I win two tests here

Gaudiano: ”My trial went very well. I started at the end of
the field and I was 0.01 seconds faster. Kingston jumped yesterday and today in
Amsterdam. I think it’s great that I win two tests here. I can’t ask any more
of my horse.”

Pause

“Kingston gets a break now and I’m not starting him at
Jumping Amsterdam for the next few days. Tomorrow I will start a younger horse
in the Provincie Noord-Holland price. Tomorrow my horse Chalou will compete for
victory in the World Cup. Chalou is my best horse and has had a break after
Jumping Mechelen. I think he has a good chance tomorrow,” said Gaudiano.

Leipzig

”Kingston ran a 1.50m section in Leipzig last week. This
section did not go as planned. I started too fast, so I was out of control at
the end of the course.”

More control

”I trained dressage at home after Leipzig, so I had more
control. This was a good preparation for Jumping Amsterdam.”
