Alexandra Paillot jumps to victory in Lisbon's GP Qualifier

On Saturday the Grand Prix qualifier counted as well for the Longines Ranking points in Portugal's capital Lisbon. Set at a height of 1.50m the class offered a hard to beat time, resulting in only three combinations in the Jump-Off. Eventually it was France's Alexandra Paillot who jumped to victory after being the only showjumper with two clear rounds. Aboard the 10-year-old Tonio la goutelle (by Ogrion des Champs) Paillot stopped the clock in 42.32 seconds. Brasil's Felipe Ramos Guinato and Quidam's Grey Lady (by Quidam's Rubin) stopped the clock a bit faster as Paillot. The pair made a finish in 40.06 seconds, jumping one rail down along the course, placing as runner-up. France's Jean Michel Martinot followed in third with Romeo de Villaret (by Mr. Blue). A platoon of four combinations with one time penalty followed, lead by Mario Wilson Fernandes and the 8-year-old Belgian Warmblood horse Holy Coeur van het Kriekenhof (by Toulon) in fourth. The top five was completed by Luis Fernandez Gil Fournier and Fosca de Ibio (by Coronado). CLICK HERE FOR THE RESULTS
