FALSTERBO - With a phenomenal clear round and one fault in the second moto, Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) confirmed her world class today in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup in Falsterbo. With the Swiss Janika Sprunger, the Bonne Chance CW, auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 2006, clearly contributed to Switzerland's strong fourth place. The nine-year-old mare seems to be Janika Sprunger's successor for her sold phenomenon Palloubet d'Halong.

With fantastic reflexes, impulsion and caution, Bonne Chance CW showed himself to be one of the greatest talents in show jumping today. HJF van Loon bred the now nine-year-old mare and offered her for auction at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2006. Bonne Chance once again confirms the motto of Prinsjesdag the Power of Performance: her grandmother is the full sister of the legendary Audi's Jikke van Eric van der Vleuten, her half-brother Zhum CW jumped at top level under McLain Ward, she is closely related to Grand Prix winner Abra Kadabra ridden by Albert Zoer and the KWPN-approved stallions Vleut and Genius also come from Bonne Chance CW's dam line.

SANKT GALLEN – Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe (Triomphe de Muze x Calvados) recorded their first five star victory at CSIO Sankt Gallen yesterday. In yesterday's 1.45 m class, which was held over two phases, Schuttert triumphed and the 2005 op Foal Auction Prinsjesdag auctioned Arc de Triomphe.

Arc de Triomphe has been one of the showpieces of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag for years. He twice won the VION Cup – the Dutch championship for young show jumpers – and many international victories and top prizes followed. With the victory in the 1.45 m in Sankt Gallen, the Arc de Triomphe, fully trained by Frank Schuttert himself, has also proven to be competitive at a five-star level (!). Arc de Triomphe is a son of Triomphe de Muze and the international top mare Una Bella S (Calvados x Libero H). The Van Straaten family from Den Ham bred the successful gelding, which came into the hands of Frank Schuttert in 2005.

For top talent Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) and Janika Sprunger it was a clear first phase and a slight error in the second phase.

Their first victory at CSIO5*-level is a fact: Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe (Triomphe de Muze x Calvados) won the 1.45m yesterday at CSIO Sankt Gallen. Arc de Triomphe was sold at Foal Auction Prince's Day 2005 and has been a super star ever since.

As a youngster Arc de Triomphe already won the VION Cup twice – Dutch championships for young horses. After that lots of international victories and placings keep following. With the victory in the 1.45 m at Sankt Gallen Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe proved to be competitive at even the highest level: CSIO5*. Family Van Straaten bred Arc de Triomphe out of the international show jumping mare Una Bella S (Calvados x Libero H).

For the extremely talented Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) and Janika Sprunger there was a clear first phase and a light rail in the second phase.
