Shanghai, China – May 03, 2025 – A Dominant Dutch Victory! Jur Vrieling (NED) got his weekend to a perfect start on Saturday, teaming up with Helwell du Chabus to claim top honors in the €40,000 Baojun Prize CSI 5* on Saturday during the third leg of the 2025 Longines Global Champions Tour at the Juss International Equestrian Centre in Shanghai.

Twenty-three combinations took part in the two-phase special challenge but only seven of them were clean after crossing the final timers. In the end, it was Vrieling and the 12-year-old Belgian Sport Horse mare (Elvis ter Putte x Orlando) who were victorious, completing the second section of the course in 34.76 seconds.

Just over a half-second separated the top two contestants at the top of the final standings. Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann (GER) and Iron Dames High Level secured second place in 35.27 seconds.

A true testament of the fierce competitiveness, three different nations were represented amongst the top three. Inès Joly (FRA) and Imposant van de Renger impressed too, rounding out the top three in 36.47 seconds.
