La Marseillaise, again!
Fences raised to maximum height tonight. In the Prize Bank Degroof, the five star riders had to jump 1.60m for the first time here at Stephex Masters. Eleven pairs reached the jump-off and France won it again. Patrice Delaveau, the winner of yesterday, was qualified for the jump-off again, but couldn’t stay clear this time in it.
Three compatriotes cleared the first round without any mistake. In the end Simon Delestre took home victory tonight on Chesall (Casall). He went just a fraction of a second faster than Christian Ahlmann (Codex One). Also the last French rider Philippe Rozier (Rahotep) jumped on the podium to third place. Nicola Philippaerts posted a double clear for Belgium with his grey stallion Zilverstar T.
