First podiums of the Longines Masters of Lausanne

Lausanne (SUI), June 21, 2019 – The day’s only Masters One event saw a full card with 86 horses set to compete with their five-star pilots. Among them, 21 horses soared over the technically challenging track without fault. It was international podium veterans, Emanuele Gaudiano and Carlotta, who were able to seize the first victory of the Masters One at 1.45m.  

“Carlotta is really a very fast mare. She has won more than 60 international events! Today was very good, we have a special arena but she didn’t care about that, she jumped very good. She’s very hot, full of blood and she fights for everything. It’s a very, very nice show.” The Italian secured his place with a blistering time of 55.3 seconds, nearly two seconds ahead of young Frenchmen, Edward Levy, who was aboard the dependable Starlette de la Roque. American rider Kristen Vanderveen is on the European circuit for the first time. She completed the podium with Bull Runs’s Faustino Tili with a time of 57.4 seconds.
