Boyd Exell (AUS) has entered the history books by winning the FEI World Cup™ Driving Final for the fourth consecutive time. 
Dutch drivers IJsbrand Chardon (NED) and Koos de Ronde (NED) fought like lions but were unable to beat Exell, who was simply unbeatable.

Last starter Boyd Exell felt the pressure on his shoulders despite his 8-second head start on Chardon after the first competition on Friday evening. Boyd however proved to be in a class of his own again, cheered on by the many enthusiastic spectators. The triple FEI World Cup™ Driving Champion put down an amazingly fast and clear round with his solid team of horses and widened the gap further on Chardon and De Ronde, who were in second and third place.

Boyd tried out some new horses and new team structures at the start of the season and at Budapest he was even forced to use a wheeler horse as the lead. Boyd has won all four competitions this season where he could win World Cup points. At his last competition in Mechelen (BEL), Boyd used his super horse Bill again for the first time as the lead. The 23-year old gelding makes a true difference to Boyd's team, allowing him to go even faster. German four-in-hand drivers Christoph Sandmann and Michael Freund previously owned Bill. Freund won the FEI World Cup™ Driving title three times with Bill and with Boyd winning the World Cup title four times with the gelding, Bill is a seven-time World Cup winner!
