Russian produced a home win in HSBC FEI World Cup™ Eventing

The HSBC FEI World Cup™ event at Minsk attracted 19 horses from Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine and produced a home win for Viachaslau Poita (BLR), who was successful here in 2008, riding the 14-year-old Trakehner stallion Arbat.

He rose to the top spot after Alena Tselipaushkina (BLR), the only rider to achieve the optimum Cross-Country time, had four fences down in the Jumping phase on Passat and dropped to fourth.

However, Russian rider Alexey Korshunov gained the most HSBC FEI World Cup™ points – he was second on Gavot and fifth on Fort and has leapt into sixth place in the standings.

A total of 14 horses completed the Cross-Country with 10 clear rounds and 10 completed the event, which, said Technical Delegate Andy Griffiths (GBR), was “a great competition”.
