Simon Delestre speeds to victory in Masters Grand Prix of Paris

The 1.60m Longines Masters Grand Prix in Paris seemed to be an exciting and difficult class. Not only the time allowed but also the technical set-up were a big obstacle for most combinations. Eventually it was Simon Delestre who speeded to victory as last rider at the start.


QUICK RESULTS

1. Simon Delestre - Hermes Ryan
2. Kevin STaut - For Joy van't Zorgvliet
3. Roger Yves Bos - Sangria du Coty


Only six combinations qualified for the Jump-Off in the CSI5* Grand Prix. As last rider at the start it was Simon Delestre who guided his 14-year-old Hermes Ryan (Hugo Gemeray) to the 99.000 euro victory.


The pair was only a fraction faster as compatriot Kevin Staut aboard the 14-year-old Belgian Warmblood-gelding, For Joy van't Zorgvliet (For Pleasure). Roger-Yves Bost completed the stage with the 13-year-old SF-mare, Sangria du Coty (Quaprice Bois Margot).


The pair was followed by Darragh Kenny with the 9-year-old Colestus-son, Classic Dream while Felicie Bertrand completed the top five aboard Sultana Des Ibis (Quidam de Revel).
