The third and last week of Autumn MET I 2022 concluded with a Belgian victory in Sunday’s CSI3* 1.50m Grand Prix presented by CHG – Construcciones Hispano Germanas S.A, with Nicola Philippaerts and the 10-year-old H&M Luna van’T Ruytershof Z (Levisto Z x For Pleasure) taking the top honours. The 1.50m course set by Dutch mastermind Louis Konickx counted 13 obstacles and 16 efforts, and with a related line from a liverpool at fence number eight followed by an oxer at fence number nine and a triple combination at fence number ten, it asked plenty of questions from the starter field of 33. Eventually, eight horse-and-rider combinations cleared the track, and as the second pair out in the jump-off Philippaerts and Luna van’T Ruytershof Z – who were the quickest in last weekend’s CSI3* 1.50m Grand Prix presented by Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort, but had one fence down – stopped the clock on 36.41, a time that proved unbeatable. “We always try to come here with a few horses to build them up,” Nicola Philippaerts – who along with his whole family are frequent quests at Oliva Nova – said about the MET venue. Speaking of the today’s Grand Prix course, he said: “I think the course today was very fair; the time was good, the jumps were good and I think we had enough clears – even if there were not so many in the Grand Prix today. I am happy I won it!”
