There is no stopping the 'golden' duo, Hello Jefferson and Scott Brash! After winning the 1.50m CSI5* in Al Shaqab on Wednesday, the duo also jumped to the 1.55m main victory in Qatar on Thursday! "Hello Jefferson is in the best form of his life," the British rider reacts after his second consecutive win!
Following a jump-off with eleven, Scott Brash jumped the Bernard Mols-bred BWP gelding, Hello Jefferson (Cooper van de Heffinck) to victory in 39.93 seconds. The pair stayed just under a second ahead of Hans-Dieter Dreher and the SF gelding, Vestmalle des Cotis (Baloubet du Rouet). Brazilian show jumper Santiago Lambre completed the top three in the saddle of the 15-year-old Zeusz (Cartogran).
The duo was followed by Abdulrahman Alrajhi, who with Lorenzo ES (Comme Il Faut) stayed ahead of Duarte Seabra and Dourados 2 (Diarado).
Niels Bruynseels also caught the eye. Bruynseels qualified for the jump-off. With Oaky Flandria (H&M Cabrio vd Heffinck), Bruynseels jumped to an eventual 10th place.
