DUTCH rider Willem Greve won his first-ever 1.60m Longines FEI Jumping World Cup class on Sunday, when he rode 13-year-old stallion Highway TN N.O.P. to triumph in Leipzig, Germany.

A start list of 40 took on Frank Rothenberger’s (GER) testing track, in which all the verticals stood at the maximum 1.60m and six out of the eight oxers measured 1.55m. Thirteen combinations negotiated their way round the first-round course without penalty to get through to the jump-off, with some very familiar names among them. Eight of them managed to complete a double clear round, emphasising the level of talent in the class.
