Munich CDI 5* Grand Prix: Jessica von Bredow Werndl continues her winning streak with Times Kismet

After three warm-up competitions at the international events in Ornago, Bedizzole and Mariakalnok, Jessica von Bredow Werndl presented Times Kismet yesterday in Munich, at her first CDI 5*; a competition which, like Isabell Werth in Hamburg , was a great success for her (former) team.

Since TSF Dalera BB's retirement, Jessica von Bredow Werndl has certainly been less in the spotlight, but that hasn't stopped her from showing clear signs of a comeback since the beginning of the year, confirmed yesterday by her victory in the Munich 5*. The very delicate Times Kismet offered a promising start to her test with a good quality extended trot: she continued by loosening the contact in the rein-back, then showed a slight rhythm fault in the passage and a first piaffe that was too forward. The bay mare struggled to extend at the beginning of the extended walk and still displayed some nervousness in the canter; nevertheless, a test without any major faults allowed them to win the class with a score of 74.522%, a new personal best.

Former Aubenhausen stables rider Raphaël Netz also improved his record score with Great Escape Camelot: the son of Johnson was rated 73.783%. They finished ahead of Benjamin Werndl & Quick Decision at 72.652%.
