Words from Olivier Lazarus: "It's the first time that I win here, I am really very happy. My stallion, Bagheera Blue, behaved very well. The beautiful sun and light breeze on a magnificent course inspired me. I took a lot of risks, we brushed two or three bars...They held and finally I am a winner here and it's fabulous!"
