The crowd in Hagen a. T.W., Germany got to cheer for their home rider Patrick Stühlmeyer, who kept the victory of the Grand Prix in his home country.
This three-star class over 1.55m had only two clear combinations in the first round, Sanne Thijssen and Stefan Engbers. But nothing was fixed yet because a second, all-decisive round was still to be ridden. Sanne Thijssen had her greatest asset, Con Quidam RB (by Quinar) saddled for this class and started very promising. There were thirteen of them in the second round, but Thijssen and Con Quidam RB touched a pole, which fell in the sand thus the duo concluded handsomely in ninth place.
The other clear combination, the German Engbers, stranded with Baju NRW (by Balou du Rouet) on four after staying double clear. It was Patrick Stühlmeyer who took home the win on Drako de Maugre (by Kannan). With more than half a second difference, he left behind Eoin Mcmahon (IR) with Chakra 9 (by Casall). Japan's Eiken Sato sent Chadellano JRA (by Chacco-Blue) to the bronze.
