It was an exciting class, the 1.50m main event of the Saut Hermès. However, under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, Kristaps Neretnieks managed to set the tone from the beginning. Ultimately, the show jumper won with his Danish horse, Quintes (Quinton).
In the end, it was Belgium's Pieter Devos who came closest to Neretnieks' time. Together with his own Jade v Bisschop (Ogano Sitte, breeder: Tom De Craene), Devos narrowly edged ahead of Petronella Andersson and Cassina Z (Casado V t Gelutt Z).
In front of his home crowd, Olivier Perreau followed, staying ahead with Bresil de Carnaval Santa Rosa (Mylord Carthago*HN) over Max Kühner and EIC Up Too Jacco Blue (Chacco-Blue).
Rik Hemeryck also secured a place in the top ten. Hemeryck guided Navarro van het Eelshof (Jappelloup v. Dauwhof) faultlessly to the ninth position.
