With a beautiful ride it was Belgium's Pieter Devos who was victorious today in the Longines Cup of the City of Barcelona. In this 1m55 course he and his nine year old mare Claire Z (by Clearway) ended their first round strong with a clear round. In the second round the rider kept his cool and finished again with a clear round and 50.66 seconds on the clock.
For a moment it looked like France's Kevin Staut was going home with the victory. The rider started last in this second round and also kept a clear round. He finished however a bit slower in 51.74 seconds, just behind Devos, with his Silver Deux de Virton HDC (by Kashmir van Schuttershof). In third place it was Canadian rider Eric Lamaze and his Chacco Kid. In the first round he finished with just one penalty for time, while in the second round he and he Chacco-Blue son again finished with some time penalties in 61.77 seconds, putting him in third place.
Completing the top five we find on a fourth place Irish rider Bertram Allen and his beautiful mare Molly Malone V (by Kannan) with whom he ended with four penalties and the fastest time of 49.43 seconds. Brasil's Pedro Veniss finished in fifth place with his Quabri de l'Isle (by Kannan) in 50.27 seconds and four penalties.
