Press Release no. 4
                                                                               Tamoil Prize, Paterson-Robinson riding with a full tank
It is unusual for the first riders to enter the ring in a timed event to win, as usually the later entries have the advantage of watching and avoiding problems or mistakes made by those who go before them.
But in the world of equitation it is always the exception that confirms the rule and that's exactly what happened in Class 4 (Tamoil) of the 14th Vincenzo Muccioli Challenge at San Patrignano. The consecutive phase class for young horses was in fact won by James Paterson-Robinson on the Belgiam gelding Dasko, who entered the ring second in the starting order. They were actually the first to complete the course as the previous horse,  Gut Neuenhofs Cimba ridden by Ludger Beerbaum had two refusals, leading to elimination. The winning Australian horse and rider went clean with 32.54", setting such a high standard that the rest of the riders found themselves forced to cut the course very "tight". With a young horse and with such a challenging course and environment, this was truly a tough race.
"It was a great win, and going in second, I had to jump the course without any outside input. Except for one jump where the horses were spooked by a shadow, it was a fine course, not too hard for a horse like mine". A win that will lead to World Championships then? " I hope so and I think there is a good chance". Seeing as it is the first time at San Patrignano, can you give me some impressions? "Really an incredible place. I visited the Community this morning and I really admire what is being done with the people, to help them here. Aside from this, the organization of the show is great".
Behind Patterson-Robinson in the class was Brazil's Pedro Veniss, riding Cornet D'Amour, a grey by Cornet Obolensky, just a couple seconds behind (0/0 34.37") and Finland's  Nina Fagerstrom on Touch Down (by Nabab de Reve).
Best Italian playing went to Juan Carlos Garcia on the Sella Italiana Delphinium del Sole (by Heartbreaker) who had the same time as the winner but had a pole down on a vertical in the second round when he cut a corner a bit too tight.
Paterson-Robinson James - Dasko (Aus) 0/32,54
Veniss Pedro - Cornet D'Amour (Bra) 0/34,37
Fagerstrom Nina - Touch Down (Fin) 0/34,47
Rivetti Cassio - Contero 8 (Ukr) 0/34,57
Lundback Helena - Bukowskis Casi Honey Bay (Swe) 0/37,54
