In the end, Henrik Von Eckermann (SWE) won ahead of Julien Epaillard (FRA) with a difference of 60 hundredths of a second.

Henrik von Eckermann‘s (SWE) first victory came in Casas Novas. The Swede had tried it yesterday with Dzara Dorchival, occupying the fifth place, a position he could improve in the second day, since in the Sensormatic Trophy of 1’50 meters, he finished with the best record of the 33 participants with the daughter of Qlasssic Bois Margot. The number one of the Longines FEI ranking won a class a year ago in this same scenario, returned to Casas Novas this summer, adding a new triumph, and in the competition that is being held this weekend, he tasted again the sweetness of success.

Henrik Von Eckermann (SWE) won with Dzara Dorchival in a class with a track that invited to gallop and in which Henrik Von Eckerman and Julien Epaillard certified the great moment they are going through.

The Haras de La Bosquetterie rider tried once again with the son of “Jarnac”, stopping the chrono in 52.43 seconds, which was not enough to unseat the Swedish rider from the first place.
