Masters Power Lido de Paris Simon Delestre and Denis Lynch reach dizzying heights !

The Masters Power Lido de Paris is a favorite of the crowd. This 6 Bars class where horses display all their power lived up to the spectators’ expectations and suspense lasted until the very last starter. As is often the case in this type of class, two riders had to share first spot: France’s Simon Delestre and Ireland’s Denis Lynch !
 
As a matter of fact, 4 riders mounted the podium – 2 on the first step and 2 on the third. Italy’s Emanuele Gaudiano and France’s Alexandre de Rothschild declined 5th round with a final jump at 2.02 m. Even though Simon Delestre and Denis Lynch rose to the challenge, they did not manage to clear this impressive height, hence this joint victory. The four of them had cleared the 1.92 jump perfectly.
However spectacular, this class is also very good practice, Simon Delestre explains: “Chadino is usually a Grand Prix horse but I entered him in the Masters Power as an exercise. I rode him yesterday in the Longines Speed Challenge where I really asked him to galop. So, today, this 6 Bars class enabled me to get him to jump high again“.
