Today the international Grand Prix in Falsterbo concluded with a very emotional Alexander Zettermann, receiving a standing ovation from the home crowds in Falsterbo. Riding Cafino (Cardento x Roderik), Zetterman took home the win in this Grand Prix. Claiming the victory for Sweden for a second year in a row. In total nine riders went clear in the first round. Joinend by two riders on four faults, 11 horse-rider combinations battled in the jump off.
The 1.60m track seemed to be a hard one. A lot of faults were made coming from the open water to a vertical in six short strides. Also the big triple combination towards the end caught many horses and riders. First one in the arena was Ashlee Bond and Chela LS (Chapultepec la Silla x Tlaloc la Silla), jumping one fault, setting the time on 46.95 seconds.
Eventually it was Andre Thieme and the 10-year-old Contanga 3 who ended second. Taking home the 40,000 euro price. Jur Vrieling was the slowest double clear with Zirocco Blue Vdl (by Mr. Blue), ending third in this 1.60m Grand Prix. The top five was completed by Germany's David Will (Mic Mac du Tillard) and Katharina Offel aboard Quebracho Semilly (by Le Tot de Semilly).
