With 50 of the world’s finest riders at the start and a sold-out stadium buzzing with energy, the Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria delivered a spectacular afternoon of sport at the Falsterbo Horse Show, now part of the prestigious Rolex Series. Under newly returned sunshine, the two-round 1.60m challenge pushed both talent and composure to the limit.

The course quickly proved demanding, as early rider José María Larocca (first to go) picked up 8 faults. But Sanne Thijssen (NED), second to go, made a statement with a fast clear aboard Con Quidam RB in 83.83s, soon joined by the likes of Max Kühner, Pius Schwizer, Simon Crippen, and Trevor Breen, who took the early lead in 82.99s. The home crowd roared as Amanda Eriksson became the first Swede to go clear, followed by star performances from Henrik von Eckermann (Minute Man), and Malin Baryard-Johnsson, who clocked the second-fastest clear in 80.18s.

With 14 clear rounds and only 13 spots available, the pace was as important as precision. Karl Cook (USA) and Caracole de la Roque stole the spotlight with a flawless round in 77.69s, the fastest of the first phase. Also advancing were Steve Guerdat, Peder Fredricson, Pedro Junqueira Muylaert, Matias Larocca, and Andreas Schou. Unfortunately, despite a perfect round, Amanda Eriksson was edged out by time, 14th at the end.

In a fiercely contested second round, double clears came thick and fast. Max Kühner set the bar, Andreas Schou raised it, and Sanne Thijssen lit up the arena with an electric 43.74s, appearing unbeatable. Steve Guerdat came close in 44.20s with Dynamix de Belheme, and Malin Baryard-Johnsson thrilled the home crowd with a lightning round in 45.64s with H&M Indiana. But it was the final rider — Karl Cook, last to go — who delivered a masterclass in precision and pace, stopping the clock at 43.28s and clinching a brilliant win in Falsterbo with Caracole de la Roque.
