Nicola Philippaerts (BEL) and H&M Zilverstar T (Berlin x Cavalier) took a convincing win in the CSI3* Grand Prix of Maastricht presented by Longines.
With a clear jump-off, and nearly two seconds faster than runners-up Michael Cristofoletti (ITA) and Belony (Balou du Rouet x Raphael) Philippaerts brought home the victory to Belgium.
Number three and the last rider to produce two clear rounds, was the 22 year-old American rider Wilton Porter and Caletto Cabana (Cassini I x Capecanaveral).
Jérome Guery (BEL) had the fastest time in the jump-off, but had to settle for fourth place with one rail down on Grand Cru van de Rozenberg (Malito de Reve x Heartbreaker) while fifth place went to Wilton's brother Lucas Porter on B Once Z (Baloubet du Rouet x Lavaletto).
