Day two produced an additional 22 jumping stallions for the performance test (bringing the total to 43). Although the first day produced only one stallion for the championship, day two produced six. The type on the second day was comparable to the first, but there were better jumpers with more scope and reflexes.

Two sons of Zirocco Blue VDL made it into the championship with Hirocco VDL as the most notable. Numero Uno also produced two sons for the championship, including the ultimate winner of the championship, Hamilton. The gray was a complete stallion but not the best jumper of the day.

Highlight of the second group was Hotspot by Hors la Loi II. This young stallion is out of one of Belgium’s best damlines and was very convincing over the jumps. The Arezzo VDL son History-Rilexy catapulted himself over the jumps . A carbon copy of his sire, he went straight to the championship where he finished third.
