Valencia, Spain – March 01, 2026 – Victor Bettendorf (LUX) was on fire on Sunday and could not be matched at the Moura Tours CSI 3* in Valencia. In the end it came down a battle between the better of the mounts that the Luxembourgeoise rode in the €56,800 Grand Prix of Valencia CSI 3* with Qwando van de Rispen coming out on top.

Thirty-seven combinations lined up for the 1.50m jump-off challenge and only five managed to advance to decisive round. Bettendorf was supreme with the 2016 chestnut Belgian Warmblood gelding (Matisse de Raposa x Phin Phin), doing so flawlessly before the timers in 34.59 seconds.

Bettendorf earned second place too, this time on Atchoum de La Roque. The duo completed their penalty-free jump-off performance in 35.02 seconds.

Giacomo Bassi (ITA) and Cash du Pratel was just one-tenth of a second behind the latter two, thus earning bronze honors.
