Brazil’s Zanotelli Wins Grand Tour Title

Doha: Brazil’s Marlon Modolo Zanotelli won the CSI 5* International Jumping Competition (1.60M) on the second day of the ninth Commercial Bank CHI Al Shaqab presented by Longines, in Doha on Friday.

The second day’s competitions were attended by the Qatar Olympic Committee President H.E. Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani.

Brazilian Marlon Modolo Zanotelli produced a superb performance on the second day of the event. Going to the jump-off as the fourth rider, he pushed hard from the start to take the outright lead in the CS15* International jumping competition (1.60M).

Switzerland’s Martin Fuches gave him a late scare, but could not prevent Marlon’s triumph. Meanwhile, Swede Patrik Kittel and his horse Touchdown won the top prize in the FEI5* Dressage event.

Marlon, riding "Like A Diamond van het Schaeck" was unstoppable. He crossed the finish line in 41.43 seconds less than half a second faster than Fuchs and Sweden's Maline Baryard-Johnsson.

Germany’s Hans-Dieter Dreher won the 5* international jumping Speed and Handiness Contest in style. The 50-year-old guided Vestmalle Des Cotis to the title in 60.62sec. He comfortably finished ahead of the Netherlands’s Jur Vrieling (Fernando H, 61.06) and Bart Bles (Gin D, 61.98).
