"King Edward jumped fantastic today. I took a long turn to the fence number four and actually didn't think I would have been fast enough. But for sure King Edward has showed us - again - he is without a doubt the best horse in the world"

“Winning this class was one of my focuses after the World Championships when I gave King Edward a bit of a rest, and wanted to build up slowly again, and this was one of the targets, absolutely. It has been a target for many years. Like I said when we had the Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final in Stockholm when Daniel Deusser won it; I walked the course and spoke to Eleonora [Ottaviani] and said one day I would like to win this one, so it’s a very special moment for me.”
