Edwina Alexander and Isovlas Socrates wins Mercedes CSI in Zürich (SUI)
The result came at the last jump of the Mercedes Classic at the 20-year Jubilee-CSI Zürich. Both Toni Hassmann (GER) and “oldie” Hugo Simon (AUT) gave away the win and the key to the $100,000 Mercedes Cabriolet at the vertical. Edwina was the first female rider to win the trophy. Edwina (34) has been the partner of former Dutch Jumping star and influential horse dealer Jan Tops for a number of years. In 2006 she reached fourth place at the World Equestrian Games on Isovlas Pialotta. Only the big chestnut Isovlas Socrates was able to stop a Swiss win of the trophy, which last year went to Markus Fuchs (SUI) on Nirmette. Reaching 2nd place, Christina Liebherr (SUI) proved on her inexperienced 11-yo Hosteiner stallion Casanova that she can get top results without No Mercy, who is recovering from an injury. Congratulations, Edwina!!!! You can download a video of the winning round (6MB, so it will take a little while).
