$500.000 Rolex Grand Prix WEF Wellington 2021

Daniel Deusser’s top mount Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z spent the first half of 2020 recovering from an injury he sustained in December 2019. Deusser brought the 13-year-old Zangersheide stallion back into Fédération Equestre Internationale sport last July. And on Saturday, “Tobago” proved his return to five-star form with a win in the $500,000 Rolex Grand Prix at the Winter Equestrian Festival. “I’m in a lucky situation to have very good horses at the moment,” said Deusser. “That gives me, as a rider, a lot of confidence, of course. It makes my life a lot easier. Tobago came back only at the end of the year, and since that time, he actually came back better than before,” Deusser added. “These couple of weeks here at WEF also gave him a lot of strength again. Hopefully, he stays exactly in that form, and I’m really looking forward to a good outdoor season.”
