Iván Serrano Sáez (ESP) & Rain Man

The bold rider from Biscay, who is based at Yeguada del Pas in Cantabria and has a wealth of experience, as does his veteran horse Rain Man, took risks in the jump-off as if it were a less demanding class, and his strategy paid off perfectly, setting a time that proved unbeatable for the rest of the field.

The podium at the Casas Novas Grand Prix was an all-Spanish affair, with Bautista Rodríguez Debray (ESP) finishing second on Vivoulette HD in 43.56 seconds and Pilar Lucrecia Cordón (ESP) third on Pica Pica Z in 44.69 seconds.
