A huge enthousiastic crowd was present for the Longines Jumping Grand Prix in la Baule, France. The audiance was hoping to hear the Marselleise but it was Belgium's Jerome Guery who took the honours. Aboard Grand Cru de Rozenberg, Guery claimed victory after an exciting jump-off. Frederic Cottier designed a heavy course where the oxer (fence number 6) and river - tripel combination seemed to be difficult to beat. Man in form, Eric Lamaze tackes upChacco Kid, but concluded with four points. Also world number one, Simon Delestre and Beau Qlassic Bois Margot left the arena with one rail down. Only eleven combinations produced a first clear round.
