La Coruña, Spain – December 02, 2022 – The €26,500 Marqués de Riscal Trophy CSI 5*-W saw an opening field of 54 elite contenders, 18 of which managed to leave the arena on a clear score. And the Frenchman Grégory Cottard (FRA) was the fastest, with his mare Cocaine du Val (Mylord Carthago x Si Tu Viens), finishing in 60.46 seconds.

The Irishman Denis Lynch (IRL) was second with GC Chopin’s Bushi (Contendro II x Nairobi) setting the time at 61.41 and Pilar Lucrecia Cordón (ESP), being third with Noblesse du Palis (Baltic VDL x Indorado), got the highest score of a Spanish representation that had an outstanding performance, with seven pairs classified within the top 14.
