Aachen, Germany – July 06, 2025 – It is not always the biggest classes that write the most emotional stories. Yuri Mansur (BRA) notched up a very special victory in the €28,200 Mystic Rose Prize . A few days ago, the Brazilian Olympic rider, Yuri Mansur (BRA), lost the horse that he had won the Turkish Airlines-Prize of Europe in 2023, Miss Blue. The mare died after suffering from colic. A terrible loss for the rider.

On Sunday, he competed in the Mystic Rose Prize, the last side competition of the weekend, a 1.45-metre class against the clock. Together with the Holstein-bred grey mare, Clariquada T, Manura sped to the finish line in a time of 68.83 seconds, ahead of Kevin Jochems (NED) with Prada di Costa M (0/68.94) and René Dittmer for Germany with Echo vh Gerendal Z (0/71.50).

The sponsor of the competition was the breeder of Miss Blue, Haras Rosa Mystica / Mystic Rose Horses. Yuri Mansur was so moved that he had won precisely this competition today, that he was speechless, the tears actually ran down his face. Obviously, a victory in honour of a special horse.
