Omerta Incipit by Levisonn wins the Grand Prix of Donaueschingen under Maximilian Weishaupt. The two have been a team for eight years.
The breeder and owner of the grey mare, Karl Gruber, was able to experience his mare's victory live.
St Georg writes:
‘The last will be first ... Maximilian, Max, Weishaupt has won the Grand Prix of Donaueschingen. No one else was as fast in the jump-off in the palace park at the H.S.H. Prince Joachim zu Fürstenberg Memorial Prize as the younger brother of Olympic rider Philipp Weishaupt. Weishaupt had saddled the Bavarian mare, DSP Omerta Incipit, to whom he owed the bronze medal at the 2021 German Championships.
49 pairs competed in the Grand Prix of Donaueschingen at the end of the traditional tournament. Seven of them made it into the jump-off. Four of these darn seven remained clear in this final course of the 2024 edition of the tournament in Donaueschingen Castle Park. This increased the pressure on the last starter. And that was Max Weishaupt. With a clear round time of 44.22 seconds, he was faster in the saddle on Omerta Incipit, daughter of Levisonn, than the Dutch rider Hendrik-Jan Schuttert, who had been in the lead until then, with the nine-year-old Kailon by Etoulon (45.08).’
Congratulations!
