On May 5, 2002, Germany’s Otto Becker and
Dobel’s Cento won the FEI World Cup in Leipzig, Germany, after a
dramatic final which saw major changes in the standings. Becker
and his athletic Holstein stallion were also members of
Germany’s gold medal team at the Sydney Olympics.
Dobel's Cento was instrumental in securing the German team
another Gold medal and was the only team member to go double
clear allowing a narrow victory for the Germans.
 At Aachen in 2000, Dobel's
Cento won the World Cup again under Otto Becker. Dobel
Cento's sire, Capitol I, was one the most highly used stallions in
Holstein. Cento's grandsire, Caletto II, also a
widely used stallion in Holstein, sired Ludger Beerbaum's
Barcelona Olympic mount, Classic Touch.
Dobel's Cento
is overwhelmingly popular amongst European breeders.
