The rest of the top five, colored all Belgian. Wilm Vermeir ended on second place with Gentiane de la Pomme (f. Shindler de Muze). They left the wood untouched and finished in 64,46 seconds. Olivier Philippaerts and the 13-year old Ustina Sitte (f. Clinton) took account of the third place. The young Belgian rider jumped a clear round in 64,62 seconds. Christophe Vanderhasselt, who rode a very fast clear round early on in the class, ended on fourth place. He saddled his 11-year old BWP gelding Gino van de Vrunte (f. Jokinal de Bornival) for the job. Gilles Thomas and Conaro (f. Con Capitol) completed the top five. Click here for the results
