Thierry Goffinet (BEL) won Sunday's CSI3* Grand Prix at the Vilamoura Atlantic Tour.
Riding the 11-year-old gelding Artuur Jh Z (Andiamo x Baloubet du Rouet), Goffinet was the fastest of the thirteen riders in the jump-off in this 1.50m Grand Prix to claim the top prize of 6250 Euro. As little as 0.02 seconds separated the winner and the runner-up, with Marlon Modolo Zanotelli (BRA) making it very close to another Grand Prix-win on Sirene de La Motte (Apache d'Adriers x Uriel d'Orval). Third place went to Mathieu Billot (FRA) on Ilena S (Verdi x Calido I), a little over a second behind the winning time.
Cassio Rivetti (BRA) finished fourth on Lagerfeld (Lauterbach x Calvaro) and Mario Wilson Fernandes (POR) fifth on Stroudwood Eldarado (Navardo x Carousel), both double clear
