Asecond to go in the deciding jump-off, Bettendorf and the 10-year-old Simolo de La Roque Z were in a league of their own, crossing the finish line in 38.51 seconds \u2013 a time that those coming after them found impossible to match. Rocuet and Djibouti de Kerizac got the closest, stopping the clock on 40.09 and taking the runner-up position ahead of Zetterman in third, Demirsoy in fourth and Power in fifth. Speaking about his plan for the jump-off, Bettendorf said: \u201cI knew I had to get a good time to put pressure on the other ones. I got all the distances I wanted to have. I thought my time was beatable, but you had to take a lot of risk to be faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the course designer did a great job, he had ten clear rounds out of 60,\u201d Bettendorf said about the track designed by Gregory Bodo. \u201cIt is nice to ride a jump-off when you know you will be placed, then you maybe take a little bit more risk. The mistakes in the first round were also spread out, which is another sign of a job well done by a course designer \u2013 the track was horse-friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSimolo de La Roque Z is owned by Michel and Adeline Hecart, I have been riding him for a little over a year now and he is a very competitive horse,\u201d Betttendorf said about his winning mount. \u201cHe is getting back to top form again, and jumping really good so I am happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
