Five move on European competition up next for equestrian competitors
Posted: Sunday May 21, 2000 04:38 PM
LOXAHATCHEE, Florida (AP) -- Sue Blinks of Mount Kisco, New York, finished first overall on Flim Flam and took the State Line Tack/U.S. Equestrian Team Dressage Championship as the Amrican-based portion of the Olympic dressage team trials ended Sunday. Blinks and the next four finishers from two weekends of competition at a private farm here will participate in two European shows this summer to determine the four-member squad and one alternate. Second overall was Guenter Seidel of Del Mar, California, who won both classes on the second weekend of trials with Foltaire. However, Blinks' double victory on the first weekend outweighed Seidel's efforts, and she wound up with a 70.844 percent total to his 70.046 percent score. Also named were Kathleen Raine, Rolling Hills, California, on Fidelia; Christine Traurig, Rancho Santa Fe, California, with Etienne and four-time Olympian Robert Dover of Raritan Township, New Jersey, with Ranier. Seidel and Dover were teammates on the bronze medal squad at the 1996 Olympics, while Dover also was on the bronze medal contingent at the 1992 Games. None of the others have Olympic experience.
