BAHRAIN'S Royal Endurance Team claimed an impressive one-two yesterday in the 120-kilometre race in the CERA Endurance Challenge in Dillingen Town, Germany.
Ghazi Al Dosseri led compatriot Yousef Al Taher to the finish. They were separated by just a mere second as the hugely competitive ride came to a dramatic conclusion.
Al Dosseri, riding his horse Ganda Koy, registered a total ride time of six hours 55 minutes 18 seconds for first place. He was trailing Al Taher, riding Kango II, as they neared the end, but then managed to make a strong late push to pass his countryman before crossing the finish.
Both Al Dosseri and Al Taher were also the leaders heading into the fifth and final stage of the event.
Taking third place was Bettina von Ballmoos from Switzerland. Riding Swwann, von Ballmoos took the final podium place alongside the Bahraini victors after completing the event in 7:12:38. Fellow-Swiss Ralph Durler, on Ainhoa Tordidja, came fourth in 7:18:57.
The CERA Endurance Challenge is set to conclude today with the final events followed by the official awards presentation for the winners.
Al Dosseri's victory and Al Taher's runner-up finish added to the joy of another second-placed classification, won by Royal Endurance Team rider Jaffer Mirza in the 160-kim ride held on Friday.

ALMOST 300 riders turned out in Manilla at the weekend to push themselves and their horses to the limit.
It was the Tom Quilty Gold Cup weekend, and organisers said it went off almost without a hitch.
“Apart from the rain, but we couldn’t do much about that,” secretary treasurer Jessica Taylor said.
Queensland’s Brook Sample took out his second cup.
Sample finished in a time of 8hrs 35min after his joint victory last year with brother Matthew.
The first rider across the line in Manilla yesterday was 12-year-old David Anderson in 8hrs 30min.
Juniors, however, are ineligible to win the cup.
The event was truly an international one, with riders coming from the US, Namibia, France, New Zealand and Japan for the cup.
Mrs Taylor said the town provided “wonderful” support for the event, and was repaid in kind.
“There is nothing left on the supermarket shelves. The shops have all sold out,” Mrs Taylor said.
“So the town did benefit from it.”
Riders were expected to cover 160km over five legs in 24 hours during the event.

Howard, who brought her two children Tag and Noah, said she is sure she will be buying tickets and added that the celebration was a nice environment for the little ones.
