Clayton Fredericks has won the 2008 HSBC FEI World Cup Final. Ben Along Time had two rails in hand after Pippa Funnell (GB) knocked down one fence on Ensign giving Clayton 4 more points breathing room.

Ben Along Time knocked down just one pole giving Clayton the victory (44.9). 2nd to Pippa (49.9) and 3rd to Frank Ostholt (GER) on Air Jordan 11 (50.9).
