Press release from 4Foulee CSI4* Poznań
The 1.60m CSI4* 4Foulee Poznan Grand Prix, counting for group B of the Longines Rankings saw the triumph of Kristaps Neretnieks (LAT) with 14-year-old gelding Moon Ray. The second place was taken by Efe Siyahi from Turkey with Call Me Princess, and the third by Juan Carlos Garcia with Cocodrillo representing Italy. The fourth was Jaroslaw Skrzyczyński (POL) with Jerico, which made him the best home athlete. Ten pairs of 43 starters secured a spot in the jump-off, including four Polish ones: Skrzyczyński , Wojciech Wojcianiec with Chintablue, Maksymilian Wechta with London 32 and Hubert Kierznowski with Lanoso. Only three pairs landed a double clear, and the fastest was the one who came into the ring first - Kristaps Neretnieks and Moon Ray. The best time among the riders with a fault sent Jarosław Skrzyczyński to the fourth place.
"For the jump-off I didn’t have any plan, because I went first and I didn’t see any riders. The only thing I could do is take all the risk, go as much as I could, take short turns. We were lucky, and we did it. I love this show, I came here every year if only I can, the ground is great, nice grass, the audience is good, the weather is always nice, so it's great,” said the winner Kristaps Neretnieks.
