The Rolex Grand Slam takes center stage shortly in Aachen. Just before the main event, Yuri Mansur guided his 10-year-old mare Clariquada T (Clarimo) to victory in the 1.45m Mystic Rose Prize. The pair narrowly edged out Kevin Jochems.
Yuri Mansur and the 10-year-old daughter of Clarimo raced to the win in 68.83 seconds. Kevin Jochems followed in second place with a time of 68.94 seconds, riding the 10-year-old Vannan mare, Prada Di Costa M.
René Dittmer completed the top three with his 13-year-old Zangersheide mare, Echo vh Gerendal Z (Echo van 't Spieveld). Just outside the top three, Hendrik-Jan Schuttert continued his strong form. Riding Panama van 't Roosakker (also by Echo van 't Spieveld), Schuttert jumped a clear round into fourth place, ahead of Adrian Whiteway with BP Baxter (Elvis ter Putte).
