France’s Patrice Delaveau won the Longines Grand Prix at the Athina Onassis Horse Show, held in Ramatuelle, France, on June 5-7.

Thirty-five riders contested the course designed by Belgium’s Luc Musette. But Delaveau won easily on Carinjo*HDC. “I’m really very happy,” said Delaveau. “I came with Carinjo in Ramatuelle to prepare him for an eventual participation in the next World Equestrian Games.”

Nicola Philippaerts (BEL) who was second with Donatella N, commented, “I gave everything, but I’m happy with Patrice’s victory.”

Rodrigo Pessoa was third with Status. He said, “I’m very satisfied with my horse. I’ve been riding him only since the beginning of the year. He’s still not a fast horse, but he’s got potential.”

Charles Villoz, vice-president of Longines said, “It was a great grand prix. Longines is very proud to be associated with this first meeting in Ramatuelle. Thanks to all for this show.”
