Eventually it was the Belgian rider Jeroen Schepers who took home the victory. He rode his mare Heike Ter Linden (Tresor D'Opaline) to first place in 52,92 seconds. With this time, he just beat Marie Bonet. She ended on second place with Ideal Van 'T Palmenhof. Bonet, who already won the 1,30m class this morning, finished in 53,12 seconds. The top three was all Belgian. Sarah Verhamme and Vino Van de Heernis (Negro) ended on third place. They jumped a clear round in 54,07 seconds.
The top five was completed by Ingemar Hammaström (Ocean Des As) and Donna Callahan (Chacco Brown).
Besides a 1,20 class, a 1,35m class was scheduled as well. The 'Prize Excellent- Plospan Shavings' got an Irish victory. This class had 88 starters. For a while it seemed like this class would have a Belgian victory, but Alex Duffy prevented that. He rode Gilles Detry from the first spot. Detry had ridden a very fast time. He and his horse Dax vd Zandloper (Up Chiqui) crossed the finish line in 53,81 seconds but Duffy did it faster. He and Barnike (Baldwin) crossed the finish line in 53,05 seconds, rewarding themselves with a first place. Third place was for Pascale Haep and Iris Van De Bisschop (Vigo D'Arsouilles). She finished in 54,86 seconds. This Belgian lady rider had a very successful weekend already. Yesterday was already placed.
Fourth place was for the French rider Kevin Staut. He and Unna De Kerglenn (Diamant De Semilly) left the wood untouched and reached the finish in 55,79 seconds. Vincent Bartin and Vintage Sologne (Darco) completed the top five.
