The Canadian Tiffany Foster wins the NH Collection Trophy

The Canadian Tiffany Foster this afternoon raised the NH Collection Trophy.Tiffany Foster, riding Brighton, was the only one able to snatch the first place from the Frenchman Aldrick Cheronnet, who was third this morning in the Marqués de Riscal Trophy, and with a time of 65.61 seconds seemed to cling to the first place. But with a seamless run and a time of 65.53 seconds, Foster proved that the challenges are made to overcome them. She was accompanied on the podium by Cheronnet himself and another Frenchman, Reynald Angot, who finished with 66.49 seconds, riding Symphonie des Biches.

The 70-second mark was reserved for a few in the 1.50-meter race, including top-ranked Spanish rider Julio Arias (68.23 seconds) and Chile's Uri Rosenzweig (68.89 seconds) .The young Galician rider Javier González Fraga remained among the top ten classified after completing the course without fail in a time of 71.57 seconds.

Once again, the test demonstrated why the emotion never misses in the installations of Larín. Although Cheronnet seemed unbeatable, the regulars at Casas Novas knew that the last word had to be said, since among the last ten participants there were some of the strongest pair of the test: Foster herself, Samantha McIntosh , Gudrun Patteet, Epaillard… However, none of them finished the course without fail.
