After a Jump-Off with eleven at the Live Oak International World Cup competition, it was Ireland's Bertram Allen who speeded to victory aboard the 15-year-old Harley vd Bisschop (Dulf van den Bisschop). The Irish showjumping rider was the only to finish clear in under 38 seconds, referring compatriot, Daniel Coyle to the runner-up position.
Coyle followed on stage aboard his trusted Legacy (Chippendale Z) while Germany's André Thieme completed the stage of this North-American World Cup leg. Thieme and the 12-year-old DSP Chakaria were followed by Conor Swail aboard Julien Epaillard's former 13-year-old Vital Chance de la Roque (Diamant de Semilly).
None of these four combinations however obtained any Worldcup points. The full 20 points are thus appointed to the best North-American rider, USA's Will Simpson who guided his Chacco P to the fifth place.
