The start of the 1.50m main class in Liège was delayed by over two hours. The organization took extra time to secure the stables during the stormy weather. "The welfare of the horses comes first," the organizers stated. In the end, the overall victory had a Belgian flavor thanks to Le Coultre de Muze...
With the jump-off taking place after midnight, the audience remained in the stands, largely out of respect for the decision. Midway through the jump-off, Gregory Wathelet took the lead with the SF gelding, Double Jeu d'Honvault (Kannan, breeder: H.P. Delplace). However, his time of 42.04 seconds was immediately beaten by Julien Epaillard and the 15-year-old BWP stallion, Le Coultre de Muze (Presley Boy, breeder: Joris de Brabander). The pair finished clear in 41.24 seconds.
Gilles Thomas was the last rider to start. In the saddle of Riesling van 't Roosakker (Comme Il Faut, breeder: Marc Kluskens), the former Belgian champion ultimately finished third.
The duo thus pushed Mario Stevens with Starissa FRH (Stakkato Gold) down to fourth place. This fourth place was shared with Roy van Beek and the nine-year-old Comme Il Faut son, Charleston-H.
