Delaveau and Orient back on track

Apr 11, 2016

Patrice Delaveau and Orient Express HDC (Quick Star) were outstanding in Sunday's CSI3* 1.50 Grand Prix in Cagnes-Sur-Mer.
The 14-year-old stallion, that has returned to competition at the French tour after a break that has lasted since August 2015, was with Delaveau in the saddle almost three seconds faster in the jump-off than German runners-up Gerrit Nieberg with Contagio (Colman x Lordanos).
Another French rider followed in third; Timothee Anciaume on Kiamon (Kolibri) was the third to clear the jump-off and after him followed the four-faulters. Two riders were actually faster than Delaveau, but with four penalties they had to settle in behind: French rider Maelle Martin with Giovani de la Pomme (Shindler de Muze) ended fourth and Irish rider Neal Fearon with Cavalino (Converter) fifth.
