Sidneva books Central League trip to Vegas 

Russia's Elena Sidneva secured her ticket to Las Vegas with an unrivalled performance in front of a 5000-strong crowd in Warsaw city centre. The Central European League, for their first official Final, took over an ice-hockey stadium to produce a dressage-fest supported by Computerland and Toyota. The event attracted full TV coverage and proved a sell-out.

Sidneva and Artax Condor, who finished eighth in last year's final, finished a full five per cent above their nearest challengers, compatriots Elena Kalinina and Sydney 2000. Condor looked in great shape having had a rest since the Athens Olympics.
