THE London crowd was treated to a spectacle of sport such as is rarely witnessed, when Ben Maher and Enjeu De Grisien triumphed in a spectacular Longines FEI World Cup jump-off.
The fact speed merchant Julien Epaillard finished fifth, on Donatello D’Auge, showed how fast the others had gone, and the lead changed hands three times in the last four rounds, with both Daniel Coyle (Legacy) and Scott Brash (Hello Jefferson) briefly powering to the front.
Julien, as is his wont, had put in a round that looked unbeatable, and he held his lead despite strong challenges from Matt Sampson (Ebolensky) and Max Kühner (EIC Up Too Jacco Blue).
