It's the fifth time for Karim Laghouag, but the first for his horse Dream de Vieve.

After four victories with Punch de l'Esques (the fourth on the day of the horse's retirement), the Versailles silver medallist came back stronger than ever in Bordeaux with this 12- year-old bay gelding.

A clear victory by more than a second and a half over the surprising grey with a beautiful stride, César de Roy, admirably ridden by Fabrice Saintemarie, who had just taken the lead. But, in tonight’s classic scenario, it was the last to go who ended up becoming the first, encouraged by a more than enthusiastic crowd.

« Dream de Vieve is a horse I've been preparing for two years. It's the first time he's won an indoor cross-country and I'm particularly pleased that it's here. We said farewell to Punch's career here with a final victory and Dream is getting his first win here, which is quite symbolic ».
