It was an emotional win for Chile's Samuel Parot in Friday's $35,000 Illustrated Properties 1.45m CSI 5* at the Winter Equestrian Festival, as the rider was competing his mount Couscous van Orti for the final time. 

Parot found Couscous van Orti from Belgium's Pieter Devos in 2015 and rode the gelding at the Pan American Games in Toronto that year. The pair has since earned numerous victories and had a very successful partnership. The horse will now compete under the flag of El Salvador with rider Juan Manuel Bolanos.

Course designer Guilherme Jorge (BRA) set the speed track for 35 starters in Friday's five-star 1.45m competition, yielding ten clear rounds. Last to go, Parot and the 15-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding (Nabab de Reve x Cash) raced to victory in 60.48 seconds.

Darragh Kenny (IRL) finished second in 62.24 seconds riding Kerry Anne LLC's Chanel. Eric Lamaze (CAN) guided Torrey Pines Stable's Thalis de la Roque to third place in 63.25 seconds, and Richie Moloney (IRL) placed fourth aboard Equinimity LLC's Slieveanorra in 64.19 seconds. 

"Today is the last show and the last class we will jump together because he is sold, so it is a nice goodbye," Parot said of his mount. "I am very happy to win with him one final time. "I was lucky to go last, so I watched a lot of riders," Parot continued. "The course was fast and very careful. In the beginning, I went a little bit slower, but on the last part of the course I went very fast. I think where I won it was the last line. I galloped down and left out a stride to the last jump, and he did it easily."

Also competing in the International Arena on Friday, Amy Millar (CAN) and AMMO Investments' Heros won the $35,000 1.45m CSI 2* jump-off.
