The prestigious Longines Grand Prix will take place at 2:45pm. This event is the biggest and most important competition across the three days at AsiaWorldExpo and will see the best horse and rider combinations vie for  $US700,000 in prize money.

Last year’s Longines Grand Prix winner Henrik Von Eckermann will be back to defend his title against a star studded line up that includes World Champion Jeroen Dubbledam and last year’s placegetter Ludger Beerbaum.

Current Longines Global Rankings number 1 Scott Brash will also be aiming for his first victory in a major event at the Longines Hong Kong Masters.

In the lead-up to the Longines Grand Prix there will be a host of other activities taking place including the $US34,000 Massimo Dutti Trophy (Table A against the clock) at 11:45am.

At 1pm Spanish horseman Santi Serra will entertain visitors with his enthralling show involving magnificent horses and at 1:15pm top European dressage riders Wim Verwimp and Fanny Verliefden will conduct demonstrations.
