Germanyâs Daniel Deusser won todayâs Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ 2019/2020 Western European League qualifier at Mechelen in Belgium with a spectacular last-to-go performance from the nine-year-old mare Killer Queen VDM.
In a 12-horse jump-off, the 2014 series champion was chasing the target time of 44.02 seconds set by Switzerlandâs Pius Schwizer and the gelding Cortney Cox who where fifth-last into the arena. And although some of those ahead of him bettered that time, they couldnât leave all the fences in place.
Deusserâs mare however was clear and quick, galloping home more than two seconds up on the clock for a big win for the Belgian-based German rider whose wife, Caroline, and family are deeply involved in the running of this memorial event dedicated to the memory of her late father, Eric Wauters.
Third place went to Belgiumâs Wilm Vermeir (IQ van het Steentje), and Germanyâs Christian Kukuk (Quintino) finished fourth.
