Doha, Qatar – February 13, 2026 – At the Longines Arena at Al Shaqab, the €1,500,000 Grand Prix of Doha CSI 5* for H.H. The Amir’s Sword delivered a finale worthy of its stage as Abdullah Alsharbatly (KSA) and his mare Diriyah claimed victory after an explosive jump-off.
After two demanding rounds of top-level sport, the tension was palpable. Clear rounds were hard-earned, time was everything, and the jump-off promised no mercy as nine of the thirteen combinations who advanced to the second round qualified for the grand finale.
Pieter Devos (BEL) and Casual DV Z set the standard, leaving all the poles up for the third time, thus establishing the time to beat at 39.20 seconds.
Khaled Almobty (KSA) had plans to overtake the Belgian. The Saudi rider set off at a fast pace aboard Diana du Plevau Z and managed to achieve his objective, taking over the lead in 37.45 seconds.
The clock was unforgiving and then came Abdullah Alsharbatly (KSA) – last to go, composed. Calculated. Unshaken. Riding Diriyah with absolute conviction, he attacked the course with precision and power, shaving every possible stride to stop the clock at a blistering 36.29 seconds. A statement jump-off performance for the iconic H.H. The Amir’s Sword Grand Prix!
