It was an exciting Grand Prix in Liège. As one of the first to start, local youth rider, Andres Vereecke set the time to beat and eventually won the 1.60m CSI4* Grand Prix.
QUICK RESULTS
1. Andres Vereecke - Igor vd Wittemoere
2. Laura Kraut - Curious George
3. Gerfried Puck - Bingo du Parc
As one of the first to start Belgium's Andres Vereecke guided his 11-year-old Igor van de Wittemoere (Cooper vd Heffinck) to victory in 34.58 seconds. Eventually no other combinations did beat this time, good for a 33.000 euro victory. USA's top rider, Laura Kraut did a great effort but had to settle for runner-up.
Aboard her Codex One-son, Curious George, Kraut crossed the finish in 35.36 seconds. Austria's Gerfried Puck completed the stage with his SF-gelding, Bingo du Parc (Mylord Carthago *HN). Only the top four riders managed to produce a clear Jump-Off round.
Puck was followed by compatriot, Christian Rhomberg aboard Cornetta 13 (Cornet Obolensky).
