CSI Poznan: It is a Dutch victory in the Grand Prix!

In the Polish Poznan, the highlight of the show was the Grand Prix that was ridden this afternoon. In this Grand Prix, 50 combinations entered the show ring. It was a quite difficult course, only seven riders rode a clear first round. A jump-off with seven combinations also had to decide about today's big winner.

In that jump-off it was the Dutch rider Marcel Ewen who jumped to the victory with Excenel V (f. Thunder van de Zuuthoeve). This duo jumped a clear jump-off in 35,94 seconds. With this time they were a little under a second faster than the German Andere Thieme. With Conthendrix (f. Contendro I) under the saddle, he jumped a clear round in 38,50 seconds. Anna Kellnerova and Classic (f. Armitage) completed the podium. They left the wood untouched and finished in 38,50 seconds.

Christian Hess and Bastian 86 (f. Utopie) ended on fourth place in a time of 38,66 seconds. Only the top four could keep the zero on the score board. Michael Cristofoletti was the fastest 4-faulter. He rode the fastest time in the jump-off, but Belony (f. Balou du Rouet) hit a fence, which resulted in a fifth place.
