Harry Charles is unstoppable and wins the World Cup of London in a breathtaking jump-off

The World Cup of London just came to end in a thrilling jump-off over the height of 1.60m. Harry Charles was the second last rider to go in and rode an absolutely breathtaking round in this jump-off. With Stardust the 22-year old claimed victory in this Longines FEI Jumping World Cup in London!

Charles could count on his 11-year old mare Stardust (by Chacco-Blue) to record a lightning fast time of 35,91 seconds and take home the win in this five star World Cup. Harrie Smolders and Monaco (by Cassini II) already had an amazing season together this year. Today they rode a spectacular jump-off which kept everyone on the edge of their seat until the very last fence. Smolders and Monaco crossed the finish line in 36,77 seconds and took home the second place. John Whitaker made his home crowd go absolutely crazy. With his 13-year old gelding Unick du Francport (by Zandor) he recorded a time of 37,50 seconds and claimed bronze in this World Cup. 

Norwegian rider Geir Gulliksen (VDL Groep Quatro) took fourth place. Olympian Champion Ben Maher (Faltic HB) followed in fifth place.
