Ramzy Al Duhami prevails in the Grand Prix qualifier

Ramzy Al Duhami and Untouchable 32 Shine in the Grand Prix Qualifier

Ramzy Al Duhami won with Untouchable 32, the mare he rode at the last Olympic Games, in front of the packed stands at the Garde Royale in Tétouan. Already impressive earlier in the day with a 5th place in the 4* competition with High Quality J, he confirmed his form by delivering a faultless and ultra-fast round in 65.20 seconds in the Grand Prix qualifier.

“It was a great test to start the tour,” said Al Duhami. “We had a plan, and everything went as expected. Untouchable 32 was in top form and will likely compete in Sunday’s Grand Prix. I know she’s not the fastest mare, but I was able to gain time by taking out strides on the turns. She has improved a lot and is in excellent condition. We hope for a challenging Grand Prix because she loves to jump big, and we aim to reach the podium again.”

Italian rider Emanuele Gaudiano took second place with Crack Balou in 65.34 seconds, while French rider Alix Ragot completed the podium with Qh Sole Mio Santo Antonio in 65.85 seconds.
