The CSI4* programme at Moura Tours in Valencia produced three key ranking classes that brought together a dense international field. With one Big Tour over 1.45 metres decided in a jump off, another 1.45 metre class run directly against the clock and a competitive 1.35 metre Medium Tour, the day offered a clear look at which combinations are currently operating with confidence and control.
Big Tour 1.45m with jump-off – Moissonnier leads the way
In the 1.45 metre Big Tour with jump off, the decision fell among the combinations that managed to stay clear in both phases. Megane Moissonnier and Jheevana Hero Z (Jenson Van 'T Meulenhof) delivered the winning performance. After a faultless first round, they produced a jump off in 38.68 seconds that no one else could match.
Jean Alexandre Legras and Narena Z (Numero Uno) also kept all fences in the cups and stopped the clock at 39.52 seconds in the deciding round, which secured them second place and underlined how fine the margins were at the top. The final podium spot went to Marco Antonio Peixoto Ferreira Filho with Stagoldesso PS (Stakkatol), another double clear that was rewarded with third place after a jump off time of 42.02 seconds.
Big Tour 1.45m (LR) against the clock – Renwick first to the finish
The second Big Tour over 1.45 metres, run as a Table A against the clock, turned into a pure speed contest. Laura Renwick guided If Evers Girl (If Ever 111) to a decisive victory with a clear round in 63.99 seconds. Her ride set an early benchmark and proved to be the reference time as the class unfolded.
Victor Bettendorf and Cancun Torel Z (Cosinhus) delivered the closest challenge. They also finished on a clean sheet and crossed the line in 64.51 seconds, a fraction slower but good enough for second place. Completing the top three, Edward Levy produced a faultless effort with Gaia Val Henry (Vagabond de La Pomme) in 65.64 seconds, ensuring that the podium was entirely made up of clear rounds.
Medium Tour 1.35m – Renwick also in front at this height
In the 1.35 metre Medium Tour, speed against the clock once again proved decisive and Laura Renwick featured at the top of the ranking for a second time. With Cottee (Asterix E Z) she produced a smooth, attacking round in 59.21 seconds, the only effort to come in under the one minute mark, which handed her another clear win on the day.
Second place went to Max Thirouin and Honolulu Champlong (Chacco Rouge). Their clear in 61.49 seconds kept them comfortably ahead of the rest of the field. Constant van Paesschen and Rolex By Hidalgo Z (Rotchild du Bosquetiau) claimed third after a faultless ride in 65.02 seconds.
Lou Puch placed twice in the top six with Malito (Malito de Reves) and Leave The Light On (Bockmann's Lord Pezi), both times on a zero score.
