Abdel Saïd took the win in the first 5*-show of this friday. Saïd was able to stay ahead of Roger Yves Bost in the saddle of Bandit Savoie (v. Qlassic Bois Margot).
Saïd and the 11 years old gelding could set the time in a course against the clock on 64.35. No other combination could do better than them and so they took the win.
For a moment it looked like the victory was for France with Roger Yves Bost on the lead. He and Urane (v. Miami de Semilly) took the second place in 64.63. Third position was again for a Belgian rider, Thibeau Spits and Juragold Bormes (v. Contact van de Heffinck) rode to a third place in 64.94.
The newly paired duo of Jérôme Guery and Kannabis van de Bucxtale (v. Contact van de Heffinck) seem to have found each other already, with a fourth place in this show. Fifth place was for Bryan Balsiger and Chelsea Z (v. Chellano Alpha Z).
