Czech Republic's Ales Opartrny won the Emirates Airline Dubai Grand Prix FEI World Cup Qualifier when he guided Acovaro home in 43.86 seconds, on Saturday.
Ferenc Szentirmai of Ukraine was close behind in second in 44.20 aboard Quick Diamond while the bronze went to France's Frederic David on Baloussini (46.60). Opartrny earned Dh80,850 where the total prizemoney for the event was valued at Dh245,000. His mount, Acovaro, a 10-year-old, is not known for his speed but proved worthy of the test.
Opartrny said: "I have been riding this horse for two and a half years. He jumps well, but he is not the fastest of horses in the jump off. Today I am happy that he was the fastest."
The final day of the Dubai Show Jumping Championship opened with the Dh120,000 Longines Accumulator a class won by 27-year-old David Will of German. Will, who began riding at the age of nine, had an exceptional weekend as he won the Emirates Airline Two Phase on Thursday and was runner up in the Dubai Cup Qualifier on Friday.
Riding the 10-year-old Monodie H in each of the classes, Will finished in a time of 52.43 in the field of 30 contenders. Ireland's Marion Hughes completed the course in 52.93 aboard Laith to take second.
