Deusser stars in Longines Hong Kong Masters

A vibrant atmosphere greeted the opening event of the Longines Masters of Hong Kong. Daniel Deusser won the biggest class of the day, proving his great shape to compete for the Grand Slam. 
Actually, he is the rider pretending to the Indoor Grand Slam Super Bonus, since he won the Longines Grand Prix in Paris, and seems ready to do it again in Hong Kong this weekend.
 The German star rode to victory on the 15-year-old gray gelding Cornet D’Amour (Cornet Obolensky x Damiani) in the main event of Day 1, the 1.50m Jockey Club Trophy.
The second day of the Longines Masters of Hong Kong was marked by the Longines Speed Challenge. Following a fierce competition, Germany’s Philipp Weishaupt on Chacon claimed the victory in 63.47 seconds, in front of France’s Patrice Delaveau with Vestale de Mazure HDC (second in 63.57) and his connational Kevin Staut, third with Ayade de Septon (66.05).
