The Trakehner Gestion TCN Partout did not enjoy his trailer trip from Erp, Holland, to Paris, France, and showed himself to be very phlegmatic in the S-Grand Prix. Anky van Grunsven gathered 67.60% and placed fourth. The audience and judges, though, praised her new Tango-Kur, and Anky won the freestyle with a score of 76.92%

With the inexperienced Giorgio S (Hanoverian by Graf Lehndorff) Isabell Werth did not win the CDI*** Paris World Cup qualifying class, but consistently placed third twice with scores in of 68.87, and 74.09 respectively. Even without a victory, she's still holding the lead with 88 points in the World Cup Standing after 6 (out of 12) shows.

Winner of the Short Grand Prix was the Italian Pia Laus. The 31-year-old rider, who seemed to disappear from the field after the Olympic Games in 1996, established a strong presence with her new Westphalian Renoir (by Rex Fritz). By winning that test with a score of 69.51%, she has moved to a 37th place in the BCM/FEI Rider Rankings.
