Stallions in top of CDI3 Grand Prix
Totilas sons were dominating the CDI3 Grand Prix with Edward Gal winning with 9 yr old Glock´s Total US by Totilas / Sir Donnerhall and placed second with 10 yr old Glock´s Toto Jr by Totilas / Desperados. 3rd placed was Hans Peter Minderhoud with Glock´s Dream Boy and then the Totilas son Governor with Adelinde Cornelissen.
No doubt Edward Gal can make his boys move extremely, and Totilas really stamps his offsprings with incredible abilities but also three very good gaits.
For Hans Peter Minderhoud and Dream Boy it was not their personal best at the scoreboard, but seen from the “sideline” it looked like their best test to date. Top motivated Dream Boy without any technical issues.
Impressive international Grand Prix debut for 10 year old Governor with Adelinde Cornelissen doing a test without any technical issues and with an overall picture of quality - 74,978%.
