Parot Jumps to Success During Conclusion of Tryon Spring V

Chile's Samuel Parot concluded competition at Tryon Spring V on a high note, guiding his own 2004 Selle Francais gelding Quick du Pottier (Hurlevent de Breka x Silnette de Menell) to a first place victory on the Derby Field at Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in the $35,000 1.45m Sunday Classic CSI 3*. The final week of the Tryon Spring Series will begin on Wednesday, June 6, and conclude Sunday, June 10. Parot piloted his mount across the fast track in 39.44 seconds, besting more than 25 combinations and riding more than two seconds ahead of second place pair Aaron Vale (USA) and Cassevel, a 2007 Holsteiner gelding (Cassini II x Quidam de Revel) owned by Hays Investment Corp., who claimed the red rosette after a jump-off time of 41.57 seconds. Third place honors were awarded to Manuel Torres (COL) aboard Santa Catalina Farm's Alejandro, a 2009 Rheinlander gelding (Acorado's Ass x Continue), who rode through timers in 41.7 seconds. Parot and the gelding have been competing at the FEI level together since 2016 and have notched several top finishes at the venue. Of his turnout for the day's class, Parot explained, "This horse has a lot of experience out on the grass. I've taken him out on it a lot in Europe at shows over there. It's easy for him to come out here. This footing is fantastic."

The duo competed throughout the course of the week, placing fifth in the $35,000 1.50m Welcome Stake CSI 3*, after riding to the fastest jump-off time of 33.505 seconds, but adding four faults to their score.
"He jumped out here the first day and we had a fast jump-off, but knocked a rail," exclaimed Parot. "Yesterday he competed in the Grand Prix, but had two down very quickly, so I retired him to save him for today. That was the right choice and today he was fantastic."
Parot plans to continue on with competition next week during the CSI 4*, and will stay at the venue until the end of July. He concluded, "For the summer I will stay here and then I will figure it out from there!"
