For the second time since 2003, the CSI 3* Grand Prix of Wiener Neustadt, Austria went to home rider Hugo Simon. The course was very technical and demanded a lot of concentration from the horses and riders. The course was set at a height of 1.50m and the time was tight, causing many riders to have time faults. Riding CT, Hugo Simon was the fastest rider in the 10 horse jump-off, crossing the finish line in 41.57 seconds. In second place was Turkish rider Ömer Karaevli and Dadjak ter Puttenen with a time of 42.29 seconds, followed by German rider Max Kühner and Cornet Kalua (43.16 seconds). " I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the audience and their support, because without them you cannot win. I am so touched, because if you can win an International Grand Prix at 72 years old, you just have to be proud." - Hugo Simon
