Friday morning John Whitaker kicked off the Longines Global Champions Tour in Paris by winning the opening class aboard Ornellaia (For Pleasure x Calato). The combination was brilliant in Monaco less than a week ago and are keeping up their good performances also this weekend.

0,44 seconds separated Whitaker from runners-up Jane Richard- Philips and Pable de Virton (Andiamo x Kashmir van Schuttershof) who was 0,30 seconds faster than number three Marcus Ehning and Cristy (Canturo x Landlord Z).
