Sunday morning's CSI5*-W 1.50m Prix France Info France Bleu at the 2024-edition of Jumping International de Bordeaux went to Portugal's Rodrigo Giesteira Almeida and the 12-year-old Pegasus Cekanane (Kannan x Quaprice Bois Margot).
With a time of 44.32, the pair topped a starting field of 29 horse-and-rider-combinations in the 1.50m class judged as an accumulator with joker – counting for the Longines Ranking Group D.
Home hero Roger Yves Bost (FRA) and his 16-year-old Urane (Miami de Semilly x Drakkar des Hutins) had to settle for the runner-up spot when the clock stopped on 45.53, while his compatriot Julien Gonin (FRA) and Estrella de la Batia (Diamant de Semilly x Lando) placed third in 46.33. Therese Søhol Henriksen (NOR) and Iron Maiden (Quasimodo vd Molendreef x Indorado) finished fourth in 47.79, and Robin Muhr (ISR) fifth in 48.25 aboard Stawita PS (Stakkatol x Lawito).
