Pau 4* three days event : a German triumph

The 5th and last leg of the prestigious HSBC Classics, a 4 star three days event (CCI****) in Pau at the end of the season ended by a double for Germany whereas Oliver Townend, winner of the HSBC Classics before running the show jumping, dramatically collapsed on this test.

Reminder: a CCI**** represents the highest level of competition ahead of Worldwide, European championship or even the Olympics, which are equivalent to a 3* competition. This unique and elite challenge puts all together the 4* contests existing on the planet: Lexington in Kentucky, US (home of the next World Equestrian Games in September 2010), Badminton in the UK (with a 200,000 people crowd), Burghley (“twin brother” to Badminton), Lumühlen in Germany and Pau, the most important event in that discipline in France. This grand slam series constitute the HSBC Classics, generously offering $ 330,000 shared by the five first home.

After the cross country on Saturday, Oliver Townend was sure to pocket the $ 150,000 offered to the winning rider (still € 100,000 with a weak US dollar against Euro), nevertheless he did not stay the trip. On Sunday his dream to win this season his 3rd CCI**** disappeared after an awful run in the show jumping test: an unexpected and true nightmare with 7 poles down!

A 19 ans, Fairfax prend sa retraite !

presspass — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:42:10 +0000

Du haut de ses 19 ans, Fairfax a profité du CCI**** de Pau pour tirer sa révérence ! C’est avec beaucoup d’émotion que Rodolphe Scherer, son cavalier et Heidi Antikatzides, sa propriétaire ont dessellé, devant le public palois, ce pur-sang irlandais pour lui offrir une retraite heureuse.

C’est donc sur une belle 6e place dans le 4 étoiles de Pau que Fairfax dit « bye bye » à la compétition. Ce n’est pas l’envie de continuer qui lui manque, mais à 19 ans, il est tout de même plus raisonnable de raccrocher ses crampons. Surtout après 12 participations à des CCI**** ! 11e à Burghley en septembre et 6e à Pau, Fairfax n’a plus rien à prouver. Alors, bon repos l’ami !
