Thursday's CSIO4* 1.50 Gold Tour in Linz saw home rider and living legend Hugo Simon on top. Riding CT (Casall x Claudio), the Austrian veteran produced a blistering fast round in 64 seconds which was more than a second quicker than the round belonging to runner-up Juan Carlos Garcia on Gitano V Berkenbroeck (Nabab de Reve x Ti Amo vh Lambroeck) from Italy. Third place went to Mexico's Santiago Lambre on Rahmannshof Before (Tenerife VDL x Matterhorn), 1.19 seconds behind on the clock.
