The KWPN licensed stallion Vivaldo was victorious in the semi-finals of the 2006 Pavo Cup Finals, which take place at the KWPN Paardendagen in Ermelo, The Netherlands, this week. Under Mirelle van Kemenade, the 4-year old Vivaldo (by Polansky x Montecristo) scored the highest mark of 85,5 points in the semi-finals.

Judges Frenk Jespers, Ton de Kok and Jan Wolfs ranked Vivaldi (Krack C x Jazz) with Hans Peter Minderhoud in second place with 84,5 points. Minderhoud also landed the third place on Johnson (Jazz x Flemmingh) with 84 points.

Majke van Grasstek and the licensed stallion Santano (Sandro Hit x Silvano N) tied on fourth place with the mare Vodarijke (Metall x Highline). The mare, who was reserve champion at the 2005 KWPN Mare Championships, was presented by Sarah van Fessem. Both Santano and Vodarijke scored 83 points.

"We've seen a very nice group of horses. There wasn't one highlight, but a really good top group. It'll be a neck-to-neck race for the victory," judge Jespers told KWPN.
