Söndag:
* Rolf-Göran Bengtsson - Casall La Silla segrare i Grand Prix efter Winning Round. Han var 1,05 sekunder snabbare än tvåan Penelope Leprevost - Mylord carthago. Segern var värd 50 000 euro, cirka 450 000 kronor.
Banbyggare Louis Konickx, bjöd på många svårigheter och av 50 startande klarade bara sju att gå felfritt på holländarens Grand Prix-bana.
- Svårt nog, höll Rolf-Göran Bengtsson med om när han som en mycket nöjd och glad GP-segrare lastade lastbilden för att åka hem.
Segern i Rotterdam gav 50 000 Euro i prispengar och rankingpoängen ger världssjuan alla chanser att hänga kvar bland de tio bästa på världsrankingen.
Segern var Rolf-Göran Bengtssons 32 Grand Prix-skalp i karriären. Senast Rolf-Göran Bengtsson stod överst på prispallen var när han vann världscupkvalet i holländska ´s-Hertogenbosch i mars, också då med Casall La Silla.

Lördag, dressyr:

Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvén red in på en tionde plats med Favourit i Grand Prix Kür på lördagskvällen i Rotterdam. Patrik Kittel och Florett As blev sist på tolfte plats - båda oplacerade
Favourit är en känslig herre som tidigare reagerat på alltför mycket stök runt tävlingsbanan men här i Rotterdam klarade Favourit både ösregn, mycket publik och hög ljudnivå inne på arenan.
- Han var med mig hela tiden, uppmärksam och ridbar, och lät sig inte distraheras trots att det inte var hans optimala omgivning. Jag är så jättenöjd med honom, säger Tinne Vilhlemson Silfvén.
Med de tidigare erfarenheterna i bagaget hade hon bett teknikerna lägga ljudnivån på musiken ganska lågt.
- Den här ritten gör att jag vågar satsa lite mer nästa gång, nu vet jag att Favourit kan klara lite mer stök utan att tappa koncentrationen.
Mest nöjd i programmet, där Tinne rider till musik av Eurythmics, är hon med piaffen.
- Han har nog aldrig piaffat så bra förr!
Ett tidigt startnummer, som aldrig är till fördel i en bedömningssport, tillsammans med den lite låga framtoningen, gjorde att poängen och placering blev mera blygsam.
- Men nästa gång så…

Patrik Kittel startade Florett As i küren och red till musiken från Sagan om ringen. Den pampiga musiken passar verkligen dem maffiga hingsten. Patrik Kittel startade allra först, medan det fortfarande var uppehåll i det oberäkneliga holländska vädret, och red in på 71,964 procent. Ekipaget blev tolva.

I topp blev dte inte helt oväntat en holländsk trippel med Edward Gal och Moorland Totilas i topp.

Grand Prix Kür: 1) Edward Gal, Holland, Moorlands Totilas 90,143 2) Adelinde Cornelissen, Holland, Jerich Parzival 83,929 3) Imke Schellekens Bartels, Holland, Hunter Douglas Sunrise 81,250 10) Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvén, Sverige, Favourit 73,392 12) Patrik Kittel, Sverige, Kohlpharmas Florett As 71,964

 

Fredag, Superligan:
Sverige nia.
- Vi är inte bättre än så här just nu, säger förbundskapten Gösta Asker.
- Vi var bara två nedslag från avancemang och det har varit tätt mellan lagen i alla omgånganra, men vi har lite för många fel. Man kan inte förlita sig på tur men måste ha lite flyt, det här var inte an av våra lyckodagar, säger Asker.
Nästa toppliga blir i Falsterbo den 9 juli.

Fredag, Superligan från FEI:
The all-female US team stormed to victory at the fourth leg of the 2010 Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ in Rotterdam today where, for the first time this season, the French did not have their way and had to settle for equal-fifth place.  There was an air of determination about the winning side from the start, and with three double-clears they proved untouchable. 
 
Great Britain's march back to the top end of the sport continued as they slotted into runner-up spot with a one-fault advantage over the third-place home team, and there was huge relief for Dutch Chef d'Equipe Rob Ehrens.  "Today was so much better" he said as, at last, his riders managed to shake off the run of poor results that has left them lingering in the bottom-four relegation zone for the last few weeks.  They have only moved up one place on the leaderboard however and still remain extremely vulnerable along with Switzerland, Sweden and Poland.
 
Germany finished fourth today while the Spanish shared fifth spot with the French and the Irish divided seventh place with Switzerland.  Poland finished last yet again and were joined on the sideline by the Swedish team at the halfway stage. 
 
NOT THE BIGGEST
"Not the biggest Nations Cup course I've ever jumped, but plenty difficult" was the verdict of US team member Lauren Hough on the track created by course-designer Louis Konickx.  "No it wasn't the biggest" Mr Konickx agreed, "but some of the distances asked for control - particularly the triple combination" he pointed out.
 
Located at the very end of his track, this was indeed the greatest influence on the competition as many riders struggled to get their horses re-organised following the previous triple bar.  It presented few problems for the American girls however.  They rode with confidence down the line and only Nicole Simpson faulted for the winning side in the opening round when her handsome chestnut, Tristan, lowered the oxer going away from the in-gate at fence seven. 
 
The British were stalking the USA closely at the halfway stage however with just two time penalties, while Dutch hearts were lifted by opening clears from Eric Van der Vleuten (VDL Groep Utascha SFN) and Harrie Smolders (Exquis Walnut de Muze) and they went into round two with just four faults on the board.  France carried eight, Spain and Germany carried nine, the Irish carried 12 and the Swiss trailed the field with 16 already racked up.

 
TREMENDOUS RUN
British pathfinder Peter Charles has been enjoying a tremendous run of late with Murka's Pom d'Ami, and he followed his opening clear with a single time penalty second time out to keep the pressure on the US leaders.  A mistake at the second element of the double at eight for David McPherson and Chamberlain Z and another for newcomer Scott Brash with Intertoy Z at the flimsy Bicycle fence that followed the open water gave the Americans more breathing space however, although they didn't need it. 
 
Hough's Quick Study was again keen and quick, taking on that final combination with consummate ease despite what appeared to be a deep approach, and when Candice King's Skara Glen's Davos was also foot-perfect for a second time and then Simpson notched up just a time fault they had already had the win in the bag.  Laura Kraut wasn't going to rest on her first-round laurels however.  A zero final score is always that bit nicer than a single time penalty for any team, and there was her Grand Prix qualification to take into account as well, so she returned to the ring with her Olympic team gold medal winning ride Cedric to secure that ever-so-pleasing clean sheet. 
 
NERVOUS
"I was nervous out there!" Kraut said afterwards, "but my nerves kept me warm on this cold day!"  Chef d'Equipe George Morris was delighted with his ladies who have now moved the USA up the leaderboard by three places - from sixth to third - "I always seem to have luck with girl power!" he admitted.  This was only the fourth US victory in the history of the Dutch Nations Cup since 1948.  They previously came out on top in 1968, 1978, 1997 and have now added the 2010 title to their tally.  Today's team will now go on to Aachen next month while a new rotation of US riders will contest the next leg in Falsterbo in three weeks time and then the penultimate round at Hickstead and the last competition in Dublin in early August.
 
Rob Ehrens described himself as "relieved" by the result for the third-placed Dutch but he acknowledged that there is still a long way to go before The Netherlands can be sure of inclusion in the Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ next year.  "I was really happy with the younger horses today" he said afterwards, "but we have a lot to do yet - this is a very tough season".  There's no doubt about that.  With four teams destined for relegation its never been tougher, and there are only four more competitions in which to turn things around.

I den trupp som åker till Rotterdam nästa vecka ingår Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Jens Fredrison, Peder Fredricson, Erika Lickhammer och Henrik von Eckermann.
Dressyrryttarna har också en nationstävling i Rotterdam. Sex nationer startar med lag, Belgien, Kanada, Danmark, Tyskland, Holland och Sverige. Det är första gången detta VM-år som dressyrryttarna möter varandra i en lagtävlan. I det svenska laget rider Patrik Kittel, Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvén, Charlotte Haid Bondergaard och Anette Christensson.

CDIO nationstävling dressyr rids på torsdag 17 juni men första start 8:30.

Förhandsinformation från FEI:
As the 2010 Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ series reaches the half-way stage at Rotterdam in The Netherlands this Friday, the big question on everyone's lips is "can the runaway French be stopped in their tracks?".  The defending series champions have a commanding advantage at the top of the 2010 leaderboard after their hat-trick of victories at La Baule (FRA), Rome (ITA) and St Gallen (SUI) over the last four weeks, and Chef d'Equipe Laurent Elias is taking no chances with another crack side for this latest fixture.

The French are also the defending champions at Rotterdam where Penelope Leprevost was the heroine in 2009 when clinching the honours in a thrilling third-round head-to-head against America's McLain Ward.  The lady from Normandy has firmly established herself as a linchpin of her national side since then, and is again selected for this week's event alongside Kevin Staut, Patrice Deleveau, Michel Robert and Marie Etter Pellegrin.

BOUNCED BACK
Under the management of new Chef d'Equipe Rob Hoekstra the British have bounced back with renewed determination this season and are currently lying second on the series table, although a full 11.5 points behind the leaders.  Peter Charles and Murka's Pom d'Ami will be making their fourth consecutive appearance and are backed up by Scott Brash, David McPherson, Gemma Paternoster and the inimitable John Whitaker.  Next in line are the Germans, runners-up last time out, fifth in St Gallen and joint-third at La Baule.  Their big guns came out at the Swiss fixture but still could not contain the relentless French onslaught.  However Ludger Beerbaum, Marcus Ehning, Janne-Friederike Meyer, Carsten-Otto Nagel and Mario Stevens will be hoping to put that to rights this time around. 

The Irish are also coming out at full gallop, although Robert Splaine's plans have had to be altered over the last few days. Jessica Kuerten had been listed with Castle Forbes Cosma, but the mare pulled a muscle while jumping in Cannes over the weekend and so has been replaced with Myrtille Paulois while anchorman Billy Twomey was forced to withdraw after his horse, Blue Thunder, tied up during exercise last Sunday.  Army man Capt David O'Brien has stepped into the breach however and the line-up that also includes Shane Breen, Dermott Lennon and Denis Lynch still looks a strong one, and well capable of defending their fourth-place league position.

SITTING COMFORTABLY
The newcomer Spanish are sitting comfortably in fifth place and look set to stay there with Pilar Cordon back in action this week alongside Sergio Alvarez Moya, Manuel Suarez, Jesus Echeverria and Marta Ortega Perez while George Morris fields a new-look American selection. Beezie Madden has two legs of the 2010 Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ series under her belt but the remaining four - Lauren Hough, Candice King, Laura Kraut and Nicole Simpson - are all fresh faces.  Lying sixth on the leaderboard going into this crucial stage, their mission will be to lift the USA further away from the all-too-dangerous bottom-four relegation zone at the end of Friday's competition.

Surprisingly, the reigning European Champions from Switzerland have been down in that bottom-four group from the outset this season despite their very best efforts.  They will be hoping their luck is about to change as Steve Guerdat, Werner Muff, Jane Richard and Pius Schwizer set off once again in search of those elusive points.  It seems almost incredible that, in this toughest of seasons, they could find themselves demoted to the Promotional League for 2011, but this is the tremendous challenge of the 2010 series.  A total of four teams will be relegated at season's end, while just two will be upgraded from the Promotional League as the Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ returns to an eight-nation format next year.

ENDANGERED
Behind the Swiss lie the even-more-endangered Swedish team that has collected only two points from the first three legs of the series.  Chef d'Equipe Gosta Asker has enlisted Olympic silver medallist Rolf-Goran Bengstsson this time around however, and supported by Erika Lickhammer, Jens and Peder Fredricson and Henrik von Eckermann he will be hoping to improve the situation dramatically.  If that is going to happen then this is the time to do it, because the second half of the 2010 Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ series is going to be an even more desperate struggle for survival in the top echelons of this great team sport.

The biggest surprise of all though is the fact that this week's host nation is in second-last place on the leaderboard with only a single point earned after the first three legs.  The newly-promoted Polish team, with its lack of experience and limited pool of riders but immense courage, has been lying last from the outset.  But no-one would have expected that the reigning World Champions from Holland would be just one point ahead of them at this stage.  The Dutch didn't even make the cut into the second round at both La Baule and Rome, but their stoic Chef d'Equipe, Rob Ehrens, has one of the coolest heads in the business.  He has a pool of 15 riders to choose from for this Friday's clash, and he will send out the best he can muster to rescue Dutch pride.  In front of their wildly enthusiastic home fans, he will be hoping they will truly rise to the occasion.
