Lanaken, Belgium – April 10, 2022 – Lots of sun, a lot of atmosphere and above all a lot of beautiful sport today at our Stud Farm in Lanaken for this final day of the second week of the Z-Tour 2022. With nine classes divided over the three different arenas, it was again a well-filled program today, but everybody was mainly looking forward to the various Grand Prix’s.

The absolute highlight of the day was of course the CSI3* Grand Prix, which took place at the Ratina Z Arena this afternoon just after 2 pm. A total of fifty-three combinations appeared at the start of this 1.50m class and eight of them stayed clear in the basic round and thus qualified for the jump-off. One of these eight was the Japanese rider Eiken Sato (JPN) with his 15-year-old gelding Chacanno Jra (Chacco Blue x Kannan), with whom he had already finished third in the Grand Prix CSI 2* exactly a week ago. Sato reappeared in the ring as the fifth starter in the jump-off and also delivered a flawless performance. He crossed the finish line in 37.75 seconds and thus crowned himself the winner of this Grand Prix CSI 3*.
