Valence, France – August 20, 2021 – One of the winningest and fastest combinations in the noble sport of showjumping were up to their old tricks on Friday, claiming top honors in the €25,400 Celside Prize CSI 5*. Emanuele Gaudiano (ITA) and Carlotta 232 flew to win the 1.50m CSI5* two phases on Friday at the Hubside Jumping de Valence.
