Kurten 11th in Vigo Grand Prix

Ireland's Jessica Kurten was one of 14 riders through to the jump-off in tonight's Grand Prix at the World Cup show in Vigo, Spain, but one mistake kept her out of the top 10 at the finish.

Kurten, riding her new 13 year-old stallion Galopin du Biolay, dropped a single pole in the final round, and just managed to stay in the prize money.

Her €500 euro purse fell far short of the €13,000 collected by the eventual Grand Prix winner, Germany's Marco Kutscher, who delivered a double clear round on the bay gelding Cash 63.

Result:

1) Cash 63; Marco Kutscher (Ger) Faults 0/0 Time 37.06

2) Eurocommerce Acapulco; Gerco Schroder (Ned) Faults 0/0 Time 37.21

3) Arielle; William Whitaker (Gbr) Faults 0/0 Time 37.43

11) Galopin Du Biolay; Jessica Kurten (Irl) Faults 0/4 Time 40.44.
