The Italian anthem was played in A Coruña due to the victory of Emilio Bicocchi, who led the honor roll of the NH Collection Trophy.

The Italian rider won a very tight test, in which the first 3 riders classified only by a second difference. Bicocchi completed a brilliant tour with his equine Call Me, bay of 11 years, with a time of 63.43 without faults.
Only a couple of tenths of a second later was the Dutchman Eric van der Vleuten, a regular at the equestrian center of A Coruña that already won the Massimo Dutti Trophy in the winter edition. He competed with Zigali P S, another bay, this one of 14 years old, in a time of 63.62 seconds.

The third step of the podium was occupied by another well-known competitor in Casas Novas, the Dutch Lisa Nooren, again with another bay (12 years old), VDL Groep Sabech d'Ha stopping the clock in 64.45 seconds.
In the starting order were many of the great binomials of the national and international scene, most of them already experienced in Casas Novas: Sergio Álvarez Moya, Gerco Schröder or Philippe le Jeune.

The NH Collection Trophy was the second test of the opening day and the atmosphere began to heat up, with more spectators in the stands. The competition also meant the kick-off of the CSI betting system, whose profits are entirely allocated to social actions.
The Trophy was played under the modality fault & time with 1.50 meters of obstacles in a spectacular course designed by Javier Trenor, in which the binomials made a big effort.

GREAT EXPECTATION FOR THE DACHSER TROPHY
The arena of the outdoor track of Casas Novas is already being prepared for the last competition of the opening day: the Dachser Trophy, which will take place from 5:30 p.m.
