Eventually only Allen and his 11-year-old Canto 16-son, GK Casper set the time in under 34 seconds, winning over 36.000 euro's.

Karel Cox followed as runner-up with Paul Van den Bosch' 11-year-old Dublin van Overis (Darco). The pair stopped the timer in 34.07 seconds staying over one second ahead of France's Julien Epaillard in the saddle of Usual Suspect d'Auge (Jarnac). Alberto Zorzi completed the stage in the saddle of Athina Onassis' 11-year-old KWPN-mare, Danique.
