There's no holding back Ireland's Daniel Coyle and his 14-year-old Zangersheide-mare, Legacy. After winning the World Cup competition in Leipzig some weeks ago, the pair jumped to victory in an exciting Jump-Off in Amsterdam.
Seven combinations started in the jump-off of this World Cup competition. Jur Vrieling was the first to go with the 12-year-old sBs mare, Griffin van de Heffinck (Castelino van de Hele). Together with the mare bred at Stal van de Heffinck, the pair set the tone with a flawless round in 40.40 seconds.
Shortly after, reigning Belgian champion Gilles Thomas finished faultless with his 13-year-old BWP mare, Luna van het Dennehof (Prince van de Wolfsakker). Willem Greve had already secured a victory earlier today with Grandorado TN. Together with Highway TN N.O.P., Greve managed to improve Vrieling's time in front of his home crowd.
Greve and the son of Eldorado vd Zeshoek finished faultless in 38.33 seconds. It seemed like a home victory, but that was without counting on Daniel Coyle! The Irishman recently won the World Cup in Leipzig and repeated his success with his 14-year-old Z mare, Legacy (Chippendale Z). After a flawless round in 35.45 seconds, the duo pushed Willem Greve into second place and Jur Vrieling into third.
Just outside the podium, Gilles Thomas finished in fourth place. The top five was completed by Pieter Clemens with his 15-year-old KWPN gelding, Emmerton (Silvio I).
