The Andalucía Grand Prix lights up the atmosphere at Montenmedio

It’s a win for Belgium from young Mathieu Bordeaud’Hui with Oscar The Homage

Today the highlight of the whole week was the very demanding Longines Grand Prix class, the Andalucía Grand Prix.  The results from this prestigious class count for the European Senior Championships 2025.  With the 60 top riders of the week taking part, ten went through to the jump off and the winner was the young Belgian rider, Mathieu Bordeaud’Hui with Oscar The Homage, for Belgium in just 38.10s.

 

After his win, Mathieu told us:  “When I walked the course for the first round I knew it would be difficult, but OK, we made it to the jump off.  Last week I was second, I had a good plan for last week but it didn’t go like I wanted.  But now, again, I also had a good plan and now it went good.  I’m very happy, my horse is just ten years old and I think I have I could have a great future with him, so yeh, we will see how it goes”.  Oscar The Homage is stallion, by  Quint VH Maarlo Z from an Arko III mare and is owned by Krismar stables.

 

Mathieu  went on to say that : “The course was quite difficult. It was I think ten clears out of 60 so that’s not so many (much) — There were two lines, from one to two you could do seven or eight (strides), I did seven, plus, to the last jump,  it was a very long seven, but OK, I knew my horse has a big stride so he easily made it.  I think that’s why I won my title”.

 

In second place in 38.85s,  was Irish rider, a favourite here at the Tour, Cian O’Conner with Bentley de Sury, a horse by Sunday de Riverland, and who top Spanish rider ,Eduardo Alvarez Aznar used to ride.  Third and fourth places were taken by French riders.  Nicolas Sers and Eleven de Riverland  and Charlotte Leoni with Miss Marie Van’t Winnehof.
