Caroline Poels-Devos (NED) was the best of the 53 riders in the CSI2* 1.45m Top Series De Buyl Insurance Prize. The stylish Dutch lady rider went in against six others in the jump-off in this 24 600 Euro competition, where she was one of only two to go double clear. Stopping the clock at 35.72 seconds aboard the 10-year-old stallion Gin D (Clinton I x Skippy II), Poels-Devos took home the victory. Second place went to the double gold medalist from this year’s European Championships for juniors; Gilles Thomas (BEL) on Conaro (Con Capitol x Quinar) – who had almost a second up to Poels-Devos. Santiago Lambre (MEX) had the fastest time in the jump-off on Fortin (Forsyth x Quinar Z), but on the expense of a rail – settling for third. Jessica Mendoza (GBR) finished fourth and Frederic Vernaet (BEL) fifth.
