It was a French winner in the CSI3* 1.50 Grand Prix in week five of the Vilamoura Atlantic Tour, as Julien Gonin and Soleil de Cornu CH (Qredo de Paulstra x Le Toto de Semilly) delivered the only double clear round.
The 1.50m-track saw only three clear riders qualifying for the jump-off, and it was double French on top with Olivier Guillon and Rafale d’Hyverniere (Chef Rouge HN x Le Plantero) in second place ahead of Hassan Methqal and Fiocco HM (Toulon x Elmshorn) from Morocco in third.
