Numero Uno daughter third in Toronto Grand Prix.18 november 2008Toronto – The Numero Uno daughter Take Off, ridden by the Olympic Champion
Eric Lamaze, was placed third in the ‘Big Ben International Challenge’,
last weekend.
Only four combinations, including the only eight-year-old Numero
Uno x Indoctro x Grannus x Argentinus mare Take Off, stayed clear in
this exceedingly difficult Grand Prix. The time of Lamaze and Take Off
was good for the victory, but unfortunately one knockdown placed them third.
Michael Whitaker claimed victory with Wonami van de Aard, before the Dutch
rider Harrie Smolders with Exquis Oliver Q. Nick Skelton and Transmission
placed fourth.
The Numero Uno daughter was not only successful in the Grand Prix. She
was already placed fourth in the Welcome Class. The next day Take Off placed
fifth.
Take off is bred by Mr. J. Coolen from Kelpen (NED)
