The first edition of the GPA Masters has been won by the Dutchman Albert Zoer and Oki Doki who was the fastest double clear ahead of Belgian Kristof Cleeren and Silvana. After this great performance, Albert Zoer was impressed by his gelding: “He already jumped very well in the first round as he did yesterday. So I was confident in the second round, I had the feeling I can go for win, I had to go fast because I knew that Kristof was very quick with Silvana. Everything went correct for me and he jumped really outstanding.”
The GPA Masters is a new kind of class open to two riders of the top seven nations in the Rolex World ranking, a very speedy competition: “I think that it is a very good concept, said the winner. A class like this evening with 14 riders is not that long and I think that’s very interesting for the public. The sponsor and the organization spend a lot of money in this project: for the riders that is a good thing and I hope that for GPA it is also a good investment. So far, there is nothing to change in this competition.” After this significant victory (€ 25.000 out of au € 100.000 total prizemoney), Zoer was thinking about giving a rest to his tremendous gelding : “I do not know if Oki Doki will go in the Grand Prix. I have to think about it this night as he did so well tonight. If not, I will ride Lincoln Sunday”.
