Today was his big day. The Frenchman Aldrick Cheronnet signed the day with his triumph in the Dachser Trophy in an incredible performance, where he has climbed to the podium in all three tests: he was third in the Trofeo Marqués de Riscal and second in the NH Collection.
Only 9 of the 43 participants in the 1.45 meter test were classified for the tiebreaker, completing the course without penalties and in less than 85 seconds. No Spanish representative managed to be among them.
In the Jump Off, it the first course without faults was hard to achieve. It would be the Canadian Tiffany Foster, winner of the NH Collection Trophy, the one to open the way. On this occasion, riding Caipiranja, she stopped the clock in 43.90 seconds. She couldn’t celebrate the great course as the Portuguese Marina Frutuoso de Melo, with Cantano, lowered her time to 41.25 seconds and later the French Olivier Robert finished with a time of 40,28 seconds.
Aldrick Cheronnet came out last in the Jump Off with Atlantys by Wisbecq and beated all his rivals, with a time of 40.13 seconds. The French anthem was played for the second time in Larín, as his compatriot Julien Epaillard won the first test of the day. The winner was finally accompanied by his compatriot Olivier Robert and the Portuguese Marina Frutuoso de Melo.
