Laudatio Sold to Dr Jorge De la Rocha
November 1, 2002
 Brazilian
millionaire and dressage fanatic Dr Jorge de la Rocha
has set his sights on the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens
and Laudatio is the horse that needs to offer him this
ticket. The 8-year-old licensed stallion of Gestut Albfuhren
in Germany was sold to Dr Jorge de la Rocha mid October
2002. Laudatio (Landadel x Trajan x Abhang III) made
a rapid sports career under Swiss Françoise Cantamessa
who recently took him to the 2002 World Equestrian Games
in Spain.
De la Rocha only started riding seven years ago but
already competed at the Olympic Games of 2000. In 2000,
he scheduled to hold the World Cup Finals in Sao Paulo,
Brazil, but couldn't get enough money on the table for
the event to actually take place. The finals moved to
's Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, and were won by Anky
van Grunsven.
