Daniel Deusser takes second win of the day with Happiness van T Paradijs in Hong Kong

In Hong Kong the second day of the Longines Masters came to an end with the Longines Speed Challenge. 17 combinations came into the arena for a 1.45m speed and handiness class. It was again, just as this morning, Daniel Deusser who won the class with the ten year old mare Happiness van T Paradijs (s. Obourg). No other combination could beat the time of 67.01 seconds.

Pius Schwizer ended in second place with the bay gelding Leonard de la Ferme CH (s. Landjuweel). They were long time in the lead with a time of 67.21 seconds, but that was before Daniel Deusser entered the arena. Last to go was the Irish rider Bertram Allen. He rode the fastest round with the chestnut gelding Quiet Easy (s. Quidam's Rubin), but unfortunately he had two faults so four seconds were added an brought him to a time of 69.79 seconds.

The top five was completed by Lorenzo De Luca with Unestar de Cerisy (s. Quick Star) and Olivier Philippaerts with H&M Challenge vd Begijnakker Z (s. Chellano Z). They finished with respectively 70.21 seconds and 70.34 seconds.
