Olivier Robert speeds to glory in Versailles

An exquisit setting is best describing the new  international CSI5* in Versailles. Probably one of the most beautiful outdoor show jumpings in the yard of the palace of Versailles, nearby Paris.  In today's concluding Prix del Mondo, the fences were set at a height of 1.50m.   Coming in as second but last, France's Olivier Robert impressed aboard Eros (by Querlybet Hero). The home-combination crossed the finish in 62.93 seconds, taking the win. Belgium's Gudrun Patteet followed as runner-up. In the saddle of the 12-year-old Sea Coast Ferly (by Calato), Patteet made a clear finish in 63.15 seconds. Harrie Smolders placed third with Zinius (by Nabab de Reve) in 64.14 seconds. The top five was completed by Maikel Van der Vleuten (VDL Groep Quatro, by Quaprice Boismargot) in fourth and Pénélope Leprévot (Urano de Cartigny, by Diamant de Semilly) in fifth.
