Diana Porsche rode to second place on Saturday ahead of the wife of a Bayern player. Katharina Rhomberg celebrated her first Salzburg victory. Antonia Weixelbraun from Nussdorf came 16th in the CSI Four-Star Trophy.

Saturday afternoon at the Amadeus Horse Indoors in the Salzburg Arena was a carbon copy of Thursday for dressage rider Diana Porsche. The rider from Salzburg once again roared to second place in the CDI three-star Amadeus Grand Prix Special with Hanoverian gelding Dahoud - again beaten by Germany's Raphael Netz. "We gained more and more confidence during the test and have grown," said the local heroine jubilantly. Bavarian legend Thomas Müller was delighted with third place. His wife Lisa and her horse Gut Wettlkam's Mondrian were only 0.3 percentage points behind Porsche (70.808). Sunday will see the grand finale with the musical freestyle (prize money: 50,000 euros) - albeit without any Austrians. Porsche will continue in London in ten days' time.

No one was better in the show jumping championship than Austrian Olympian Katharina Rhomberg. The rider from Vorarlberg won the 57,000 euro show jumping competition with her horse Cuma ahead of Joao Gomes de Lima (Bra) - her first victory in the city of Mozart brought her 57,000 euros in prize money. Antonia Weixelbraun was eliminated from the CSI Four-Star Trophy in 16th place.
