The second of two weeks of competitions at the Club Hípico La Silla has already begun and the first major CSI 3* class of the week took place yesterday, offering a jackpot of MXN $480,000

Eighty-two combinations had registered to face-off in the 1.45m challenge, with only 19 of them clearing the first round course designed by Leopoldo Palacios (VEN) and Anthony d’Ambrosio (USA).

Diego Vivero Viteri (ECU) claimed the victory by guiding Capiche ter Elzen, a 10-year-old Belgian Sport Horse mare (Bamako de Muze x Nabab de Reve) to two flawless performances, the decisive one in 35.05 seconds.

Patricio Pasquel (MEX) and Pomerol were hot on the winners’ heels, finishing second only six seconds behind.

Rodrigo Lambre (BRA) and Chacetan had another strong outing, registering no penalties and a jump-off time of 35.82 seconds.
