The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup^TM saw 38 starters from 14 different nations go head-to-head as they vied for FEI World Cup^TM points to qualify for the Final in Omaha in April 2023.

Renowned Portuguese course designer, Bernardo Costa Cabral, described the highly challenging 13 fence track as the “perfect recipe”, complete with twists, tight turns, and a testing but achievable first round time allowed of 68 seconds. With faults accumulated throughout the course, just seven combinations made it through to the second round to be in with a chance of claiming the prestigious title.

First to go clear in the jump-off was Maikel van der Vleuten from The Netherlands. As the 2013 winner, he had the experience to keep his round tight, but sensible, producing a tactically flawless performance and the first double clear in a time of 41.21 seconds. Great Britain’s Scott Brash – the 2016 winner – kept his cool, matching van der Vleuten’s accuracy, but taking out a stride to the final Longines oxer to take his place at the top of the leaderboard. The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup^TM Final winner from 2014, Daniel Deusser, put in a quicker first section, however lost time down the final line to finish 0.05 seconds behind Brash.

World No.1 Henrik von Eckermann from Sweden looked extremely quick, exactly 1.19 seconds quicker at the half time split, but with four faults at the last he could only finish fifth. It was left to 22-year-old Jodie Hall McAteer as last to go to make the final challenge on her British teammate. The former double Voltaire Design Under 25 British Champion put in a strong performance with the crowd behind her, including an incredibly tight turn to the wall at the midway point to take third – a career personal best.

Brash, who previously won this class in 2016, said: “Hello Jefferson is fantastic, I know how careful he is and I can trust him to ride him fast at the last fence, it actually makes him focus more. It meant I could take a chance to the last and make up a bit of time I lost between one to two. I was tight back to the second from last, he tends to fall in left a bit, but I managed to be tight and he jumped the vertical well, made me land a touch shorter so the eight strides to the last was a touch more forward that the others.”

The former World No. 1 continued: “I thought it was a tricky course, quite twisty to start with. There were some tall verticals there so it was delicate. I thought the course designer has done a fantastic job in there today, when fences fall all over the course and not just in one area that’s a sign of a very good course and seven clears is spot on.”
