With the Equita Masters scheduled later today, the CSI5* combinations jumped a 1.50m class this morning in Lyon. In front of the home crowd it was Harold Boisset jumping to victory aboard his 17-year-old SF-mare, T'Obetty du Domaine (Kashmir van schuttershof x Diams du grasset).
Boisset and the 17-year-old mare, bred by M. Christian Moulin, finished almost four seconds faster as Norway's Pal Flam and the 12-year-old BWP-stallion, Mega Special DC (I'M Specual de Muze, breeder: Rudy de Cooman). Flam and Jur Vrieling's chestnut referred, Brazil's Pedro Junqueira Muylaert to the third spot.
Muylaert completed the stage aboard his 13-year-old Holsteiner-stallion, Quax 76 (Quo Vados, breeder: Uwe Tiemann).
The pair was followed by Mark McAuley aboard Fury Nocturne (Volnay du Boisdeville), while Ashford Farm's Jana Wargers completed the top five aboard Limbridge (Guardus Limbus).
