Spruce Meadows, Calgary, Canada — September 05, 2024 — Richard Vogel (GER) and United Touch S helped boost the tally of our new charity fundraiser Jump for Jasper to $40,670 as they delivered a double clear in today’s 1.55m $62,500 Cana Cup CSIO 5*.
The amount reflects a two-day total of 83 clear rounds completed by riders in four International Ring competitions so far — with an anonymous donor giving $490 for each clear round delivered in the ring across the entire five-day ‘Masters’ tournament.
Following today’s Cana Cup, Vogel, the winner of 2023’s Rolex Grand Prix in Geneva, told how ‘very badly’ he wants to win Sunday’s CPKC ‘International’, presented by Rolex, to get back on track for Rolex Grand Slam contention.
“We want to win very badly,” said Vogel, who would need to win three consecutive Rolex Grand Prix events to win the coveted grand slam title.
“Sunday’s grand prix is one of the most prestigious classes in the world.
“I have United Touch which is an opportunity you don’t have often in your life.
“While I have him, I should try to win it with him. You never know when you will get a horse that can jump the big jumps so easy like he can.
“With him underneath me I have a good chance and the opportunity to do it.”
Second and third place Cana Cup finishers, Ben Maher (GBR) with Enjeu de Grisien, and Max Kuhner (AUT) on Elektric Blue P, also added a couple thousand dollars to the pot as they went double clear on the challenging course designed by Leopoldo Palacios (VEN).
