From a starting field of 40, none could catch Nayel Nassar (EGY) in a galloping 16-horse jump-off in the CabanaCoast CSI5* 1.50m. Sitting aboard Igor van de Wittemoere (2008 Belgian Warmblood gelding by Cooper van de Heffinck) for Evergate Stables, Nassar conquered the short track with a second to spare over runner-up Ashlee Bond (ISR) and Donatello 141.
Rounding out the top three in the CSI5* 1.50m was Ireland's Conor Swail riding Theo 160. The MLSJ Team Competition takes center stage on Saturday at Thunderbird Show Park with the opening round of the 2022 season where eight teams do battle for an early lead in the overall standings.
