The second leg of the World Cup Jumping takes a halt in Helsinki. In the CSI5*-W 1.45m Class, Henrik von Eckermann (SWE) was comfortably leading the way but was eventually bettered by Shane Breen (IRL).
Henrik von Eckermann (SWE) had a flawless round throughout the 1.45m high course aboard of Calizi, a 10 years old mare by Cellestial. The pair finished in 56,24s, leading the way in first position. Shane Breen (IRL) saw a chance and took it with Scarteen (Cardento). The pair outsped the world number one with over half a second difference and won the class. The top three was completed by Lorenzo de Luca (ITA) and Violino Il Palazetto (Verdi TN), who finished in 56,58s.
On four there was Julien Anquetin (FRA) with the already 17 years old Gravity of Greenhill (Nabab de Reve). Kevin Staut concluded the top five aboard of Visconti du Telman (Toulon).
