German Dominance
In the top 10, we see a strong presence of German horses. German rider Phillip Batterman excels in the number one spot with his Holsteiner mare Kasuarina HHL (Charleston x Quidam de Revel), bred by Reimer Detlef Hennings. Out of 36 starts, they have placed 20 times. Da Vinci SR Z (Diamant de Semilly x Parco | Z), bred by Hanna and Elena Unterberg from Germany, ranks sixth. Belgian rider Roy Van Beek and his Oldenburger Diamant de Roofs-H (Diamant de Quidam-H x Tlaloc la Silla | OS), bred by Johannes Heinrich currently hold the 10th spot.
Comme Il Faut Offspring
After Kasuarina HHL, the second and third places among the 7-year-old horses are taken by offspring of Comme il faut: Qurious HS (Comme il faut x Diamant de Semilly | SWB) and Merciminka (Comme il faut x Horse la Loi II | KWPN) are, by the way, both ridden by a Swedish rider. Qurious HS has won 15 out of 35 starts, while Merciminka has secured 20 victories out of 48 starts. Further down the list, in seventh place, we find another Comme il faut son: the approved stallion Chrysler Key SR.
