CSI5*-W Stuttgart : Bost and Lüthi take Saturdays big classes
The 1.50m class was won, rather unexpectedly, by the young German lady rider Kaya Lüthi. Together with her horse Pret a Tout, Lüthi managed to stave off riders like Marcus Ehning, Felix Hassmann and Rolf Goran Bengtsson, to take the win.

Fourteen riders started in the jump-off, with Lüthi finishing first with 32.95 seconds on the clock, two seconds faster than Ehning and Hassmann.

The 1.45 accumulator class was won by the 'Flying Frenchman' Roger Yves Bost and Quaoukoura du Ty.

The accumulator class allows the rider to earn points over every jump that they clear. At the end of the course there is a joker fence, which is particularly difficult to jump. If they clear the joker along with the other jumps, they earn the maximum of 60 points. Bosty, as he is affectionately known, took the class by storm and sped around in his usual erratic style, to leave his competition behind.

Pius Schwizer took second place with Baros, while Bost's compatriot, Julien Epaillard took third with Cristallo ALM.
