Ignace Philips and Taylor Alexander on top in Cannes
The weather cleared out today at the international show jumping in Cannes. The Longines Global Champions Tour offered a beautiful sportive day program for the CSI 1* classes. In the concluding 1.40m class it were the United States of America who dominated the stage.

Aboard Gipsy King (a horse owned by Laura Kraut and the De Bock Family from Belgium), Taylor Alexander speeded to victory after a clear finish in 36.10 seconds. Bobby Kraut and Carmen followed in a second place stopping the clock in 37.53 seconds. Belgium's Danny van den Bosch continued his good form from St. Tropez, by placing third in today's 1.40m class in Cannes. Together with Atilja he finished in 39.05 seconds.

The top five was completed by Switzerland's Sandrine Berger (Calgary XI) and France's Flore Giraud (Ulisca du Touney).

In the 1.30m class it was again Belgium's Ignace Philips and Cubia who claimed victory. The pair was followed by Carlos Hank Guerreiro with Quantador 3. The pair finished clear in 36.46 seconds. Claire Beecroft completed the stage aboard Burgana.
