Ulla Salzgeber Reinstated As Number One After First World Cup Qualifier

World Cup Series, Warm Up Shows for New Combinations

Placing last in that Prix St Georges class were interestingly enough Anky van Grunsven and Lucky Times. With 61.10% the pair got referred to a sixth place. This was Lucky Times' first outing under Anky van Grunsven. Lucky Times (KWPN, by Goodtimes) is the double Pavo Cup Dutch Young Horse Champion, formerly trained and shown by Anne van Uytert. The highly sensitive and almost crazy Lucky Times was once hailed as Holland's biggest talent. With Van Grunsven controlling the reins of Lucky Times, much is in store.
