Swiss dominate first day in Sankt Gallen

While Abdel Saïd is giving us a glimps in the competition life at the CSIO in Sankt Gallen through our equnews Snapchat, yesterday's main class was dominated by the home riders. The biggest class; the 1.50m Longines CSIO Schweiz St. Gallen Prize, was won by Werner Muff, riding the 11-year-old Pollendr (by Polytraum). Only three riders  produced a double clear rounds in this competition, and 0.21 seconds behind Muff in the jump-off followed Ireland's Anthony Condon on Aristio (by Arko III). Third place went for Egypt's Abdel Saïd. Saïd rode the 9-year-old Hope van Scherpen Donder (Quadrillo x Balou du Rouet). Two Swiss riders completed the top five in this class; Christina Liebherr and Martin Fuchs. Earlier in the day, Paul Estermann topped the 1.45 Domus & Walter Knoll Prize. Together with the 10-year-old Bareina (Valentino Ddh x Clinton), Estermann left two compatriots behind him in second and third to complete an all-Swiss podium: Evelyne Bussmann on Tafila d'Urville (Jenny de la Cense x Count Ivor) and Martin Fuchs on Coriano Carthago (Coriano x Carthago).
