A random draw had placed Denis Lynch\u2014the two-time winner of the previous days\u2019 time trial classes\u2014and his horse Katja near the front of the starting lineup. Denis put Katja into overdrive right from the first few meters, resulting in a fantastic clear round with a fast base time of 57.56 seconds. <\/p>\n\n

This time seemed completely unbeatable until Finland\u2019s Jone Illi entered the course on his horse Caprivi 23. This pair, too, had some great performances under their belt from this weekend, and Jone clearly set his sights on winning the class right from the very first jump. The Messukeskus crowd held its breath as Jone made a tight turn and Caprivi 23 performed brilliantly, clearing the jump flawlessly. After clearing the final obstacle, the arena erupted in wild cheers as Jone\u2019s time of 56.57 was ultimately enough to secure the victory by a margin of one second. \u201cWhat an incredible feeling! An absolutely amazing course\u2014everything went exactly as planned. The horse jumped incredibly well,\u201d Jone says right after the class. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an incredible atmosphere at the Messukeskus. It feels like the horse starts jumping better when there\u2019s a little encouragement, and it gives me a lot of confidence, too. I love being here,\u201d she continues. <\/p>\n\n

When asked about his future plans, Jone says that the timelines are still up in the air.<\/p>\n\n

“My boss, Markus (Beerbaum), has planned it so that my competitions will end in Helsinki. I’m now waiting to receive the next list.”<\/p>\n\n

Course designer Guilherme Jorge had laid out a course where it was possible to shave several seconds off the time with tight turns and short approaches. However, the tight turns also made it easy to make mistakes. Denis Lynch, who finished second in the class, shared his thoughts after the race.<\/p>\n\n

“On this course, your horse needs to be rideable and responsive. I didn\u2019t quite manage to turn properly at the second-to-last jump, and that\u2019s the difference between first and second place.\u201d Denis also praises the conditions, courses, and audience at Messukeskus. <\/p>\n\n

Finland’s Anni Hjerpe, riding her horse Callboy, performed brilliantly and rode a clear round, but her time wasn’t quite fast enough to reach the top. Anni finished in 9th place. <\/p>\n\n

The other Finnish competitors also performed well, even though a few unfortunate individual slip-ups cost them the chance to finish at the very top.<\/p>\n\n
