In the Belgian Lanaken the Z-Tour is still going strong; The last class that was ridden at the big arena was the 1m50 Grand Prix Qualifier. 71 combinations entered the show ring for this class and nine of them jumped a clear first round. A jump-off with nine riders therefore had to decide about the winner. Eventually it was the German Jörne Sprehe who took the victory. She and the only 8-year old Solero 79 (f. Stakkato Gold) jumped a clear jump-off in 35,14 seconds. With this time she beat all competition. The second time came from the Swedish Angelie von Essen. her Newton Abton (f. Converter) didn't touch the wood and finished in 38,30 seconds. the Turkish rider Derin Demirsoy, member of the Young Riders Academy, ended on third place.With Harry K (f. Equest Carnute) under the saddle, he jumped a clear round in 40,82 seconds. Karel Cox followed on fourth place. He rode the 12-year old For Pleasure stallion Flinstone van'T Eigenl to the finish line in 37,62 seconds. This would have been good for the second place, but a jumping penalty resulted in a fourth place. Angelique Rüsen and Reavnir (f. Moosbends Ricardos) ended on fifth place.
