44-year-old Filip de Wandel is currently the equestrian star of Belgium. He won the competition at Transverse city Belgium, with his Gelding Manhattan Van’t Leeuwerkenhof owned by Five-way farms in Saturday’s $37000 CSI3. Apart from all of his popular wins, he won during the second week of Transverse city spring which was presented by Turtle Creek Casino and Hotels.
After Katie Dinan and Otto D’Elle won on Friday, they seemed difficult to overcome. Kellie Cruciotti VanderVeen of the USA tried to beat them by crossing the timer in 35.77 seconds. However, the narrative changed in seconds as Filip de Wandel won with little chance by taking a curated path through the short track.
Although he wasn’t moving at a fast pace his accuracy and ability to make strategic turns did the job and saved him some time to finish at 35.15 seconds. With Beat Mandli finishing second in 35.20 seconds and VanderVeen coming third. Out of the 23 combinations designed by Mauricio Garcia Bellesteros, only 12 proceeded to the jump-off stage to receive top honors and prize money. The 12 include:
