French excellence and accuracy favored Julien Epaillard aboard of Donatello d'Auge in the CSI4* 1.55m Grand Prix of Mâcon, France.
Only 7 of the 51 starting combinations managed to complete the 1.55m course successfully, with three of them finishing double clear.
Jérôme Guery and his trusty Quel Homme de Hus seem to be back in top form! With the Quidam de Revel stallion, the Belgian rider recently jumped to a top-five finish in the CSI5* 1.50m class in Madrid, and the pair continued their momentum in Mâcon, France. Guery (BEL) and Quel Homme secured an impressive second place with a solid time. Only Julien Epaillard (FRA) and the 11-year-old Donatello d'Auge (Jarnac) were faster and claimed the GP victory. German Pia Reich (GER) delivered the third and final clear jump-off with PB Loewenherz (Levisto Z).
Mark McAuley (IRL) relied on Destinee de Vains (Untouchable) to capture fourth place, while Megane Moissonnier on Bracadabra (Pacific des Essarts) finished fifth.
