SHANE SWEETNAM SWOOPS THE PRIX SAUR AT CSIO5* LA BAULE
On day three of Jumping International CSIO5* at La Baule, the Prix Saur Table A with a jump-off class proved as thrilling as expected. Out of 63 starters, only 16 riders advanced through, where speed was crucial to claim a podium win.
Despite many riders finishing with zero faults within the 48-second time limit, only Switzerland’s Nadja Peter Steiner riding Nice Vant Zorgvliet, broke that time streak with a swift clear round in 36.63 seconds. She was followed closely by Great Britain’s Scott Brash on Hello Chadora Lady, who finished just behind in 36.71 seconds.
Belgium’s Abdel SaÏd with Calvaro then set a new pace, jumping clear in 36.56 seconds. However, Ireland’s Shane Sweetnam riding Gilona AO was poised to take the lead, and he did so with a commanding clear round in 36.28 seconds, securing first place and earning €27,500.
