In Helsinki, competition is still happening at the highest level. Today's main event was a 1.50m class that was run directly against the clock. Not only was the victory at stake, but there were also valuable points to be earned for the Longines ranking. Many top riders entered this Longines ranking event, but in the end, it was a young Dutch talent who came out on top: Mel Thijssen rode Florida Balia NL (by Bustique) to victory. The duo jumped a sensational clear round and stopped the clock at 57.21 seconds
Hans-Dieter Dreher and Jiniki (by Dallas) took second place. The just 10-year-old KWPN mare jumped remarkably, resulting in a faultless round in 57.27 seconds. Steve Guerdat followed in third place with the also 10-year-old Easy Star de Talma (by Quick Star). The duo kept all the rails up and clocked in at 57.75 seconds.
Edouard Schmitz and Abdul-Jabbar du Giber (by Arezzo VDL) secured fourth place. A nice round resulted in a clean sheet in 57.83 seconds. Marlon Modolo Zanotelli rode Talina du Vivier Z (by Taalex) to fifth place by jumping a faultless round in 58.20 seconds.
