St. Tropez, France – September 19, 2026 – Cédric Angot (FRA) and Harmony de Grandry claimed victory in the €29,000 Aurelie Biderman Prize CSI 3* at the Jumping Gassin International, producing the fastest clear round in a competitive jump-off at Haras de Gassin. The French partnership stopped the timers at 43.79 seconds to take the top spot in the 1.45m class.

Eighty-five combinations lined up for the opening round, with only 15 riders earning their place in the decisive jump-off. Angot and the nine-year-old bay Selle Français gelding Harmony de Grandry (Lifestyle x Mylord Carthago) kept all the fences standing once again, delivering a precise and attacking performance when it mattered most.

The victory was secured by a narrow margin, with Brazilian rider Marlon Módolo Zanotelli (BRA) finishing just 0.26 seconds behind the Frenchman aboard Collin S4. Zanotelli also completed two faultless rounds, crossing the finish line in 44.05 seconds to take second place.

Marcus Ehning (GER) completed the podium for Germany with Stargold, another combination to finish on a double clear. Their jump-off time of 44.06 seconds left them only 0.01 seconds behind Zanotelli and less than three-tenths of a second away from victory, underlining just how tight the battle was at the top of the leaderboard.
