39 starters, 13 entries and only 10 clear rounds. The CSI5* 1.55m UBS Challenge on Saturday night lived up to its name, challenging both horses and riders.
Martin Fuchs (SUI) seems to be invincible this week. In the saddle of Commissar Pezi, a descendant of Commisssario, the Swiss rider secured his third victory on home soil. Simon Delestre (FRA) on Dexter Fontenis Z (Diarado) needed a second more to stay away from the wood and came second. More Swiss talent in third place with 25-year-old Edouard Schmitz (SUI) snatching the bronze with Quno (Quo Vados).
Fifth place also received a red square with a white cross over it, with Bryan Balsiger (SUI) placing there on Psg Starlight. With the 9-year-old mare by Zirocco Blue, he had to beat Tokyo Olympic Champion Ben Maher (GBR). He saddled the Toulon son, Enjeu de Grisien.
