At Sentower Park, a CSI4* international weekend just concluded with the denouement of the weekend: the Grand Prix of the CSI4* competition. 50 competitors came to the start of this 1m55 Grand Prix with jump-off. Fourteen of them managed to finish the basic round without jumping or time faults. A jump-off with fourteen therefore had to be decisive. One thing was already written in the stars: with top riders such as Sanne Thijssen, Jana Wargers and Kent Farrington as candidates, it already decided it was going to be a very fast jump-off.
In that jump-off, it was Kent Farrington, who also managed to win the Rolex Grand Prix of La Baule last year, who drew the longest straw. This time he saddled Myla (by Crunch 3) to drive home all the competition in 37.46 seconds. Piergiorgio Bucci in turn took second place. Saddled with Hantano (by Quadimodo Z), he left the wood untouched and clocked off in 38.14 seconds. Third place went to one of the fastest riders in the world: Sanne Thijssen. Thijssen sent her top horse Con Quidam RB (by Quinar Z) through the jump-off without any jumping faults and finished in 39.97 seconds.
Michael Duffy followed on four. His Claptonn Mouche (by Conrad) left all the bars in the scoops and stopped the chrono after 39.41 seconds. Emanuele Camilli and Chacco's Girlstar (by Chacco-Blue) completed the top five after a clear jump-off in 39.76 seconds.
