The jump off was very international while ten riders represented eight different nations including Hungary. In the jump off riders committed the most of the faults at the sixth obstacle, a matt black steep one, and only four competitors made a clear round.
History repeated as after two decades a Portuguese rider took first place again in Budapest CSIO’s Grand Prix after the fastest round of Luis Sabino Goncalves in the saddle of the 9-year-old Dominka Van De Lucashoeve (Cardento 933 / Chin Chin). Mr. Gyula Budai Ministerial Commissioner representing the Ministry of Economics and Foreign Affairs and Vilmos Lázár president of the Hungarian Equestrian Federation presented the riding couple and offered a Herend porcelain.
The Polish Wojciech Wojcianiec finished second in close competition within 1 second followed by Geir Gulliksen representing Norway. The best Hungarian result, a great 9th place went to István Fazekas on Walterral (Mythos / Justboy), owned by Antal Nagy.
