Paris, France – March 21, 2026 – Simon Delestre (FRA) delighted French spectators in the curtain-call challenge on the second day of the 2026 Saut Hermès, teaming up with Olga van de Kruishoeve for top honors in the €62,000 24 Faubourg Prize CSI 5*.

Contested by 27 entries, the 1.50 accumulator test was won in electric fashion by the Frenchman and the 2014 bay Belgian Warmblood mare (El Torreo de Muze x Nabab de Reve), blazing through the course before stopping the timers in 46.88 seconds.

Delestre’s speed proved to be too much for the rest of the competition. The closest duo to the winning mark were Thibeau Spits (BEL) and King van Essene, who settled for second place in 48.78 seconds.

Daniel Deusser (GER) and Bingo Ste. Hermelle were just five-hundredths of a second behind the latter two, securing bronze honors in 48.83 seconds.
