In Kraków, Kristaps Neretnieks (LAT) and Quintes (Quinton x Consul) won Friday's CSI4*-W 1.50m Prize of Lotto – under the patronage of the Mayor of Kraków. Host to the CSI4*-W FEI World Cup Jumping Central European League (CEL) Final, Cavaliada Kraków has three classes on the schedule that counts for the final standings in the Central European League.
Six horse-and-rider combinations out of the 50 at start moved on to the jump-off, where Neretnieks was the fastest when clocking a time of 35.39 seconds. Michael Kölz (GER) and Cellato (Cellestial x Callato) followed in second with a time of 35.88, while third place went to Jaroslaw Skrzyczynski (POL) and Komboy (Carrera VDL x Jacorde) in 36.29 seconds. With the last double clear of the class, Ernesto Canseco (MEX) and Haraminka P (Verdi TN x Voltaire) finished fourth, followed by Tomasz Miskiewicz (POL) and Velvet Lazar (Verdi TN x Numero Uno) in fifth with four faults in the jump-off.
The victory has brought Neretnieks to the top of the current standings in the Central European League, with only one more class to jump – Sunday's 1.55m World Cup Grand Prix.
