THE Rolex Grand Slam dream was reignited for Germany’s Daniel Deusser on the final day of The Dutch Masters in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, as he claimed the prestigious Rolex Grand Prix title to become the Rolex Grand Slam live contender once more.
Some 38 of the world’s best riders lined out over Louis Konickx’s big 1.60m track of 13 fences with 17 jumping efforts. Just 12 of those managed to answer all the questions and make it through to the highly competitive jump-off. In the end, six combinations jumped double clear and Deusser, who travelled back to Europe from the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida where he is spending the winter months, had the winning time in 37.90 seconds to earn a whopping €231,000 with Stephex Stables’ 14-year-old stallion Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z.
