Yoshiaki Oiwa and Tullyoran Cruise JRA
Japan’s Yoshiaki Oiwa riding the 12-year-old Tullyoran Cruise JRA has won the CCI4*-L class at LOTTO Strzegom Horse Trials in Poland
Yoshiaki Oiwa was victorious after a clear round in the show jumping, finishing on a score of 33.8 and beating the leader after the first two phases – Jonelle Price from New Zealand, who had one rail down on the final day.
Jonelle finished in second place (34.5) on board the young mare Grappa Nera and third with McClaren (37.8) while her husband and World Number Two, Tim , who led after the dressage, jumped a clear round on Wesko but that could not make up for the time penalties he added on cross-country to finish in fourth (38.7)
The results at 4*-L level now give Jonelle’s two new horses additional qualifications for the postponed Olympic Games
