The KWPN-approved stallions Stargos VDL and McAllister VDL have topped the interim standings after two rounds. A total of eight seven-year-olds remained faultless on both days.

In the second part of the semi-final of the KWPN Van Santvoort Makelaars Cup, Albert Zoer clinched the victory with his self-bred Moncheri (It's Otto out of the international sport mare Juanita sport-spr by Emerald van 't Ruytershof). He also advanced two six-year-olds from his own breeding. Thanks to this performance, he is assured of a spot in the final.

Faultless on Both Days
The KWPN-approved stallions Stargos VDL (Stakkato Gold out of Estella by Conthargos, breeder W. Winkeler) ridden by Hessel Hoekstra and McAllister VDL (Inaico VDL out of Zoklahoma VDL ster pref prest by Emilion, breeder VDL Stud) ridden by Jur Vrieling completed the podium. They are also leading the current standings in this order. In the final, they will face competition from the KWPN-approved stallions Mees van de Watermolen (Vannan out of Holinda ster pref by Carambole, breeder Jan Greve), A Moonlight Speciale Z (Aganix du Seigneur out of Double-Speciale ster PROK by Chacco-Blue, breeder Jack Verstappen) ridden by Pieter Keunen, and Defender VDS Z (Dominator Z out of Atureusa keur sport-spr by Padinus, breeder Daphne van der Schaar) ridden by Marco Sas, who also remained faultless on both days.

Two from Finishing Touch Wareslage
Thanks to two faultless rounds, Juulia Jyläs finished third in the current standings with Milestone T ster sport-spr (out of Glory T by Quality Time, breeder Herman van Triest) from the very small crop of the KWPN-recognized stallion Finishing Touch Wareslage. The Finnish rider can approach the final with confidence, as she has also qualified with the Finishing Touch Wareslage offspring Magic Touch (out of Ureen-Latano ster sport-dres by Ferro, breeders A.J. Klein and Stal Van den Berg).

Three Offspring of Etoulon VDL
In the final, the KWPN-approved stallion VDL Mindset ES (Aganix du Seigneur out of Hosanne ES keur sport-spr pref by Kannan, breeder Egbert Schep) will also compete. The VDL Stud is doing well thanks to their stallion Etoulon VDL, whose three offspring are among the top 25 horses for the final. In addition to Etoulon and Finishing Touch, Stakkato Gold (2) and Grandorado TN (2) also present multiple finalists.
