In Leipzig, the riders are preparing for the ultimate denouement of the World Cup Finals on Sunday. Jos Verlooy proved on Saturday afternoon that he was once again in excellent shape with another victory in the CSI3* 1.50m Longines Ranking class of Leipzig.
Jos Verlooy could count on the twelve-year-old gelding FTS Killossery Konfusion (by Siec Livello) to beat the competition in the jump-off with a lightning-fast time of 38.08 seconds. Gerrit Nieberg could count on Blues D'Aveline CH (by Baloussini) to secure the silver medal in this rankingclass in 38.62 seconds. Mario Stevens needed 39.14 seconds in the jump-off to ride Starissa (by Stakkato Gold) to third place in a clear round.
Rene Dittmer (Burlington Riverland) continued the German rankings and finished fourth. Carsten-Otto Nagel (GK Curacao) completed the list with a fifth place.
