Von Eckermann and King Edward keep the lead in Worldcup finals Riyadh

“King Eward did give me a fantastic feeling. It couldn't go better, really, wow!. I felt pressure but also enjoyed the class," says von Eckermann after winning also the second qualifier in the FEI Worldcup finals!

Von Eckermann and his 14-year-old BWP gelding, King Edward (Edward 28), jumped to victory in the first round on Wednesday. Together with the gelding, bred by Wim Impens, the Swede also won the second round. Fellow countryman Peder Fredricson and Catch Me Not S (Cardento) also remained faultless and secured the second place just like the first day.

Today, Jill Humphrey landed on the third spot with Chromatic BF (Connor). Belgium's Pieter Devos finished as the slowest faultless rider in the fourth place. Devos and Casual DV Z (Cornet Obolensky) stayed ahead of Julien Epaillard and the 11-year-old SF mare, Dubai du cedre (Baloubet du Rouet).

In the overall standing, Julien Epaillard is currently fourth while Jill Humphrey is placed fifth.
