Boyd Exell Makes it Six Wins at Aachen

The victory marks Exell’s sixth win at this event and it is his fifth consecutive time atop the leaderboard.  

Exell remained well positioned throughout the duration of the competition sitting in second position right until the final day.

“My tactic was not to win the Marathon at all costs, but to win the overall classification. But in fact my horses gave 110 percent today,” revealed Exell after the race.

“It was a very difficult, but in comparison to last year, much better designed course,” was how the winner described the course, praising its designer, Dr. Hartmut Kaufmann.

After all three competitions, the 40-year-old and his horses Capone II, Curios, Sam, Spitfire and Winston came out on top with a score of 118.46 points.

Second place went to the Dutch driver, Koos de Ronde, who came second in the Marathon competition.

Third place was claimed by the US-American, Chester Weber (125.78), who had been in the lead after the dressage and obstacle driving competitions.
