Bost’s birthday buzz at Finland World Cup leg
French passenger Roger Yves Bost won maximum World Cup points and celebrated his 47th birthday inward agency inward the 2d qualifying leg of the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Western European League at Helsinki, Republic of Finland on Sunday.
Riding Castle Forbes Myrtille Paulois, the enigmatic Frenchman – whose jumping technique oftentimes seems to defy the laws of gravity – produced some other ane of his trademark heart-stopping rounds to pip Spain’s Sergio Alvarez Moya together with Carlo inward a nail-biting 14-horse jump-off.
Jeroen Dubbeldam together with BMC Utascha, winners of the opening circular at Oslo a calendar week ago, had to settle for 3rd house this fourth dimension out. But the Dutchman directly holds a potent Pb at the transcend of the serial table. With 35 points already to his credit, he solely needs ane to a greater extent than potent number to ensure his spot at the in conclusion inward Gothenburg, Sweden adjacent April.
The start-list was reduced from xl to 39 due to the belatedly withdrawal of Finland’s Mikael Forsten who broke his manus when landing awkwardly over a combat inward an before shape at his dwelling family fixture inward the morning. This was really bad luck indeed, every bit he is non long recovered from a broken arm sustained piece competing inward the Grand Prix at Hagen, Deutschland in conclusion year.
A twisting first-round rail from course of report designer Aki Ylanni produced fourteen clear rounds, but non without some considerable effort. The Hartwall Arena is an ice-hockey ring, measurement precisely 60m x 30m, together with the questions asked past times the thirteen obstacles were relentless. As winning passenger Bost explained afterwards “the horses never got a intermission the whole agency around, they had to concentrate every second”.
The rail took them some the arena inward a serial of figures-of-eight, together with skilful course-walking paid dividends. Every combat was approached off a plough or bending line, but those who could works life a forwards rhythm, together with riding horses prepared to last brave, were rewarded with a construct clean sheet. Losing the musical rhythm proved detrimental every bit the distances apace unravelled, specially from the oxer at combat v to the triple-combination at six, together with from the vertical at combat nine through the abrupt right-hand plough to the Rolex oxer at 10 which was followed past times a potent v or asset vi strides to some other large oxer at 11.
But for some, disappointment came at the really destination of the course, Max Kuhner’s exciting nine yr old stallion Clintop making it all the agency at that topographic point solely to clip the front end rail of the in conclusion double to operate out the German linguistic communication duo alongside the vi first-round four-faulters.
It was Dubbeldam who led the agency against the clock, aiming to agree the tape of Switzerland’s Daniel Etter, Germany’s Christrian Ahlmann together with Switzerland’s Pius Schwizer who each recorded a double over the origin 2 legs of the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping serial inward the previous 3 seasons. He raced through the complete without error with Utascha, but when he saw 38.98 seconds on the scoreboard he shook his caput before leaving the ring, already convinced that precisely wasn’t quick enough.
Again the course of report required precise turning skills, but Italy’s Giovanni Consorti, who finished the origin circular at the destination of the buckle with the courageous gelding Silverstras, hitting the vertical at combat nine which was directly the 3rd combat on the rail before bringing his scoreline to viii faults when leaving the in conclusion chemical gene of the treble – directly reduced to precisely 2 jumping efforts – on the floor.
Young Swiss talent, Martin Fuchs, took private gilded at this summer’s FEI European Young Rider Championships at Magno Racino, Republic of Austria with the xvi yr old greyish gelding, Principal, but this couple also brutal foul of the vertical, piece Sweden’s Peder Fredricson together with Lunatic also left ane on the flooring when adjacent to go.
London 2012 Olympic squad gilded medallists Scott Brash together with Hello Sanctos chased downward Dubbeldam’s target-time with a keen circular inward 39.08 seconds before Bost took his plough – together with it was a thrill a minute. The 12 yr old mare is feisty graphic symbol at whatever time, together with with the Frenchman urging her to give him everything she had, she responded past times racing through the complete inward 37.39 seconds which actually threw it downward to the remaining viii runners.
Try every bit they would, they precisely couldn’t grab the leading pair. Bost’s French colleague, Kevin Staut, was clear but a picayune careful with Silvana when breaking the beam inward 40.74, but Britain’s Will Funnell was actually giving it his best shot when steering Billy Angelo dwelling family inward 40.28 which, inward the in conclusion analysis, proved skilful plenty for 5th place.
But it was Spain’s Sergio Moya who produced the strongest threat to Bost’s supremacy, with a sensational circular from Carlo. This is a partnership clearly destined for keen things if they proceed every bit they remove keep begun, the xi yr old greyish gelding formerly competed past times Britain’s Nick Skelton has taken to his novel passenger really apace indeed, together with they are forming a formidable relationship. With absolute confidence, together with enjoying every instant of the challenge, Carlo crossed the work inward 37.48 seconds to complete precisely 900ths of a 2d behind the winning fourth dimension to set Moya inward 2d spot ahead of Dubbeldam inward 3rd together with Brash inward fourth.
Moya was delighted with runner-up spot. “It felt actually good,” he said afterwards. “I was 3rd in conclusion weekend, together with 2d this calendar week hence I’m ready to last origin adjacent time!” He plans to remove keep a dissimilar Equus caballus to the adjacent leg of the serial inward Lyon (FRA) inward 2 weeks’ fourth dimension together with volition convey Carlo out in ane trial again for Stuttgart (GER) after inward November. “Nick (Skelton) has done such a keen undertaking with Carlo. The Equus caballus has a lot of experience, together with he actually tries hence difficult for the rider,” Moya added.
Winning passenger Bost was delighted with his mare too. “She (Castle Forbes Myrtille Paulois) was really skilful today. In the jump-off she started hence fast that when I got to the 2d combat I idea – good she wants hence much to become hence I volition allow her! Sometimes yous remove keep to last placidity when riding her but I knew Sergio (Moya) would last really fast hence I decided to become a picayune faster. With her it’s slow to lose control, but today she was fantastic!” he said.
With twenty points on the board he slots into 6th house on the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping 2012/2013 leaderboard going into his dwelling family trial at Lyon. But Dubbeldam is sitting pretty at the transcend of the serial tabular array piece Moya is solely 3 points behind, with Scott Brash inward 3rd together with The Netherlands’ Maikel van der Vleuten together with Britain’s Will Funnell sharing fourth.
