AMSTERDAM, Jan. 21-Adelinde Cornelissen and Jerich Parzival served notice they are ready to defend their World Cup title when they won the Jumping Amsterdam Grand Prix Freestyle Saturday with their highest score in a year and the third highest ever for the pair with a dominating performance.
Adelinde and the 15-year-old KWPN geldng (Jazz x Fidora x Ulft) scored 87.050 per cent to complete their second World Cup event that qualifies them for the Final at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, in April. The only two previous higher scores were at Den Bosch a year ago and then the personal best of 88.838 per cent at the European Campionships in Rotterdam six months ago.
Germany’s Helen Langehanenberg on Damon Hill NRW scored 83.150 per cent for second place while compatriot Isabell Werth on El Santo NRW were third on 81.625 per cent.
With a display of supreme confidence, the defending champions threw down the highest score of the season so far to make it a back-to-back double following their victory in Mechelen, Belgium last month in the Western European League.
But with the maximum 20 points going to the second-place rider, as the previous year’s winners do not collect points during the following season, there was a tremendous battle for the minor placings. And Helen Langehanenberg came off best in a tussle with Isabell Werth who had to settle for third place despite one of the most exciting performances of the day.
The result has moved Langehanenberg into third on the series leaderboard with just two qualifying rounds left to go. And there is a new leader, as Italy’s Valentina Truppa, who finished fifth this afternoon, ousted Sweden’s Patrik Kittel from the top of the table.
There is a keen battle amongst the German contingent for a starting spot at the World Cup Dressage Final in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands next April. And Nadine Capellmann did her chances no harm with a lovely test that led the way at the halfway stage. She left the considerably more-experienced Elvis at home in Aachen, and instead brought out her 11-year-old Gribaldi mare, Girasol 7, who produced some lovely work throughout a calm, quiet and happy test that was full of lightness and life to earn a mark of 76.200.
That remained the target score until Truppa, winner at the fifth leg in Frankfurt in December and at Lipica, Slovakia, earlier last year, swept into the lead when awarded 76.775 per cent for her test with Eremo del Castegno. But then Dutch star, Edward Gal really pleased the home crowd with a dramatic performance from the 13-year-old mare Sisther de Jeu whose extravagant extended trot and big piaffe helped put 79.875 per cent on the board.
Their lead wouldn’t last long, as Cornelissen and Parzival swaggered down the centreline to take command. Cornelissen insists she can never be sure she can win when she goes into the ring, but admitted that Parzival “just keeps getting better and better and better! He continues to amaze me, he still gets better every day,” she said. Isabell Werth refused to be intimidated by the Dutch rider’s score, however, and set off with gusto to produce a spectacular test from El Santo NRW. The bay gelding powered through extended trot, passage and canter pirouette, and Werth’s enormous smile after saluting the judges said it all–81.625 per cent.
But with those tantalising 20 points still up for grabs, it was Helen Langehanenberg who came closest to Cornelissen’s score as, second-last to go, the 12-year-old stallion, Damon Hill NRW, showed his class to put 83.150 per cent on the scoreboard. “The feeling today was really good–even better than yesterday,” she said afterwards. “My horse loves to perform in the arena and he really fought for me and I loved it!” said the rider who plans one more World Cup outing–at Neumunster, Germany next month – before the the Final.
Adelinde saidof her ride, “I can’t say he did bad – can I? He was a bit spooky in one corner, but you can make your own program and avoid it. Of course there are things that can go better, but so far I am satisfied.”
Wim Ernes commented on the early departure of Sweden’s Minna Telde and the stallion, Santana, who retired when the horse became upset during his test. “I’m very sad for her,” he said. “We have to ring the bell after 20 seconds, she had several times of resistance and we tried to give her time to recover. The horse has only one eye, and I think he heard or saw something. We were ready to ring the bell but she withdrew at the same moment–at the end she couldn’t go on.”
