David Will, who in 2021 won the Rolex Grand Prix at Piazza di Siena, was the winner of the second class held today in the 2022 Frecciarossa Milano Jumping Cup CSI4*.

The 34-year-old German riding Zaccorado Blue won the ninth class of the show presented by Dils (two-phases - h 1.50m). He was joined on the podium by the only British rider competing in Milan, Joe Whitaker, and Paris Sellon, the American rider who is engaged to the leader of the world’s ranking Martin Fuchs.

Will, who together with his great friend and colleague Richard Vogel, also riding in Milan, has for some time owned an important show jumping facility in Marburg, the V&W Equestrian, and expressed his enthusiasm about this first Milanese adventure. “We love it here. I like the fact that San Siro is in the middle of the city, so we can spend evenings in the city centre, and also that the whole facility allows us to work at our best. And that doesn't always happen with metropolitan facilities... Tomorrow I will be riding Concordia in the Grand Prix; yesterday the horse was at its first experience here and was looking around a little bit but responded well  today in the first phase of the 1.35m class, finishing without any problems. I am quite optimistic, but his performance will depend mainly on me...”
