The 42-year-old rider who, with Glock\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Johnson, claimed team gold and individual bronze at this summer\u00e2\u0080\u0099s FEI European Championships in Aachen (GER), steered another of his powerful string, the 14-year-old Glock\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Flirt, to victory ahead of host nation stars Patrik Kittel and Watermill Scandic. And it was a great day for the Dutch when Adelinde Cornelissen lined up third with the Jerich Parzival who won back-to-back Reem Acra titles in 2011 and 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>Eager to do well<br \/>\n<\/b>Talking about his win this evening, Minderhoud admitted that he was \u00e2\u0080\u009cvery eager to do well. Last year here in Stockholm I won the Grand Prix, but I had to settle for second place in the Freestyle,\u00e2\u0080\u009d he pointed out. However he felt victory was well within reach this time around. \u00e2\u0080\u009cI knew it was possible because we won yesterday, however yesterday the scores were very close so I couldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t be sure, especially with Adelinde and Parzival and Patrik with Scandic in such good form.\u00e2\u0080\u009d \u00a0 \u00a0He said he had been encouraged by the sight of the winner\u00e2\u0080\u0099s prize. \u00e2\u0080\u009cWhen I saw the orange car in the corner of the arena I thought &#8211; hey, a Dutch person should win that! &#8211; and this is the first car I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve ever won!\u00e2\u0080\u009d the delighted Dutchman said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>He has now moved up to the top of the Reem Acra FEI World Cup\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 Dressage 2015\/2016 Western European League leaderboard with 54 points to date, and plans to continue campaigning throughout the remainder of the series. \u00e2\u0080\u009cI will go to Salzburg with Romanov and probably bring Flirt to London and Johnson to Amsterdam and den Bosch\u00e2\u0080\u009d he said this evening.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And, reflecting on a very successful afternoon, he concluded, \u00e2\u0080\u009cthis is my first qualifier win with Flirt, having competed him for one and half years. He is very easy to travel with, so I can take him everywhere. Flirt is getting closer all the time, who is my best horse is really depending on the form of the day. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s really a luxury having three top horses\u00e2\u0080\u009d he added.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b>Result: \u00a0<\/b>1.
