The CSI2* 1.40m competition went against the clock, and no less than 27 of the 49 riders produced clear rounds.
Nobody could match Denutte’s speed however, as he crossed the finish line with a time of 56.98 seconds aboard the 8-year-old gelding Cassis van de Kranenburg (Toulon x Kannan). A little under a second behind followed Karina Aziz (CAN) on Fleur Roosters Van Betz (Winningmood van de Arenberg x Triomphe de Muze).
Third place in this class went to the talented junior rider Gilles Thomas (BEL), who has had a very good show so far at the Brussels Stephex Masters. Thomas was riding his double European gold medalist from Millstreet, Indiana vh Kapelhof (Chatman x Pinkus). Stephex Stables-rider Petronella Andersson (SWE) finished fourth and Hilary Mc Nerney (USA) fifth.
