Geneva, Switzerland – December 09, 2023 – This Saturday, the world number 1 was able to whisper in the ear of his mares, thus offering himself the two major events of the day. After teaming up with Iliana for “vengeance” and the win in the $112,500 Geneva Cup CSI 5* and Glamor Girl.

The day ended with the CHF $80,000 Credit Suisse Challenge CSI 5*, a 1m55 speed event. In the stands, the enthusiastic public did not fail to encourage and congratulate each competitor. Maintaining the lead in the provisional ranking for a long time with a time of 71.94, the Tricolore Nicolas Deseuzes (FRA) and Eldorado Sunheup Z finally had to bow, falling to 4th place.

Faster, the Italian Lorenzo de Luca (ITA) and Don Vito crossed the finish line more than two seconds ahead (69.88), in turn maintaining the leadership for a long time. The deal seemed concluded.

But that was without counting on the last couples in the running, who were well motivated to reshuffle the podium. The Swede Henrik Von Eckermann (SWE), definitely very lively, celebrated his second success of the day, in the saddle on his very good Glamour Girl, registering no penalties in 68.31 seconds for the win.

Finally, last to enter the arena, the Swiss Anthony Bourquard (SUI) was able to feed off the energy from his countrymen and seize his chance at the reins of Ecuador de La Cense, settling in third place due to their fault-free performance in 71.78 seconds.
