Ireland's Jessica Burke and Express Trend (Future Trend x Condios, breeder by Liam Nicholas) won Saturday's CSIO4*-W 1.50m Prix Maroc Telecom at the second leg of the 2023 Morocco Royal Tour in Rabat.
With a time of 35.25 seconds in the winning round, Burke and Express Trend took the windahead of Emanuele Gaudiano (ITA) and Chalou (Chacco-Blue x Baloubet du Rouet, bred by Gestüt Lewitz). Earlier Gaudiano already impressed with multiple wins in Morocco.
"I have Express Trend since he's three years old. He is just amazing and we know each other very well. This allows us to go the extra mile and take the necessary risks." Burke said after winning the class. "Of course in the first round I had some luck. It's my first time in Morocco, but I do actually love it here."
Jennifer Hochstadter (LIE) and Tinka's Hero Z (Tinka's Boy x Caretino 2, bred by M. Vincent Jourdan) placed third, while Giulia Martinengo Marquet (ITA) and Scuderia 1918 Quick And Easy 3 (Quick Orion D Elle x Colman) finished fourth.
The top five was completed by France's Antoine Ermannaboard Comic Star (Levistan x Diamant de Semilly).
