Winner of World Cup Grand Prix with the magical +80%
Danish power from entering halt to final halt = today´s victory + now member of the very attractive international +80% Grand Prix club, and being able to keep Dressage Queen no 1 Isabell Werth with Emilio behind today, eventhough the German judge at C, Mr. Peter Holler saw his fellow countryman 6% better than Danish Dufour - Dufour was just unbeatable today.
