The CSI5* Faults & Time class of the H.H. The Father Amir’s Prix once again brought together the very best of the sport. Set over a technical 1.45m track, the course demanded both speed and precision, with every fraction of a second proving decisive.
At the top of the leaderboard stood Philipp Weishaupt, who delivered a benchmark performance with Karaldo (Harley). The German rider combined a flawless round with a time of 59.87 seconds, making him the only combination to stop the clock under one minute.
Second place went to Abdullah Alsharbatly, who partnered Valentino (Diamantino) to another clear round. In 62.33 seconds, he remained faultless but had to concede more than two and a half seconds to the winner.
Completing the podium was Eve Jobs, who guided Kannandillo (Kannan) through the finish without penalties in 62.44 seconds, underlining just how tight the competition was at the top.
Just outside the top three, Nadja Peter Steiner placed fourth with the BWP mare Nice Van’t Zorgvliet (Emerald), bred by Clarysse Van Coppenolle. Her precise, fault-free round stopped the clock at 62.68 seconds, once again confirming her consistency at CSI5* level.
The top five was completed by Kristen Vanderveen with Starbucks 27 (Stakkato). Her clear round in 62.80 seconds kept her within one second of the podium, sharply illustrating the minimal time differences that defined this class.
