After the announcement earlier this week that the LGCT at Miami Beach was moved to April 13 through 16, the organization is now forced to changing the dates again. The event will start on April 14 instead of April 13.
After overnight changes to the weather forecast the Longines Global Champions Tour of Miami Beach will now run from Friday 14 April - Sunday 16 April. The ground expert has confirmed and is confident that by the weekend the footing will be good again.
The safety and well-being of the riders, their horses, and guests remain top priority. As such, they have made some necessary adjustments to the competition timetable to account for the heavy rainfall.
The CSI5* timetable has been revised to take place on Friday and Saturday and the CSI2* competitions will run over all three days. The GCL team competition will now only be one round on Friday at 16.30 and the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Miami Beach has been moved to 14.45 on Saturday.
Despite some weather setbacks, the Longines Global Champions Tour of Miami Beach will still be taking place, with the GCL team competition now condensed into one exhilarating round. While we may have missed out on a second round, this change will only add to the excitement and intensity of the competition, as riders and their horses will be giving it their all in one go.
