The American team completed two clear rounds to win the competition in style, ahead of France on five faults with the Netherlands in third on seven faults. Spain finished fourth on 15 faults.

The Irish team manager Rodrigo Pessoa said:

"We are of course a bit deflated that’s for sure. We took a chance leaving out some of our top horses before the European Championships. We knew this was a tough call - juggling qualification for Barcelona, our home Nations Cup and the European Championships. Unfortunately we dropped one of the balls here today. We couldn’t repeat our very good first round second time out and the American team were very strong. Our eyes are now on the European Championships which from the start of the season was always our number one goal."

Following todays Aga Khan fifth place finish, the Irish team have qualified for the FEI Nations Cup Jumping final in Barcelona
