Just like in Weert in the Z-class, again the pair Silverstone (Champion du Lys x Carthago) and his rider Dennis van Tilburg were the best. The stallion finishes his jumps well, is careful and very quick, so that also Tygo could not reach Silverstone’s time. Hester Klompmaker rode the scopey en powerful Tygo (Numero Uno x Purioso) to the second place, just in front of Casantos and Sunny.

Fifteen M-class stallions stayed clear in the course of Jos Brinkman, so in a jump-off they had to determine the winner. Danny Schaper started first with his AES approved Utah (Guidam x Amethist) and no one could reach his time of 30,90 seconds.
Marco Brinkman did good business with Ukato (Stakkato x Literat) for the competion-ranking. He grasped with a second place the total of 15 points for the interim-ranking. The carefully and well balanced Ukato turned sharply and short, so he just finished a second slower than Utah.
Bart Bles and Unistar (Voltaire x Notaris) stayed clear in a usual quick round and finished third. Dennis van Tilburg and Harley (Heartbreaker x Carthago) attempted well and Harley was very cooperative; did not want to touch the fences, but finished just a few seconds short. After the Weert-victory the pair now reached fourth place.

Verdi (Quidam de Revel x Landgraf) is in the winning mood in the L-class competition. The powerful bay won with 51 points again after the victory in Weert. In the first course Eric Naberink and Freek van der Laan gave a 9,5 for jumping technique, and in the second course a 9 was added. Vigaro (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Renville), who is selected for the second round viewing of the stallions selection impressed with his canter, his balance and his suppleness and came in second with 50,5 points. Ester Blekking was his rider.
Marc Houtager replaced Yves Houtackers as Van Gogh’s rider (Van Gogh: Numero Uno x Bernstein). In both courses the stallion showed his easy manners. He has got a spacious, powerful and well balanced canter. Vykarlos (fourth, Numero Uno x Holland, appointed for the second selection round) showed carefulness and jumping ability and so he scored 8’s. Maikel van der Vleuten finished fifth with the diligent and well jumping Vleut (Quickstar x Cantus). Ex aequo sixth came in Vincenzo, Viento Uno W and Vingino.
