Mercedes-CSI Zurich: Anisette de Lassus wins Knock-out

(25.1.2015) In Zurich’s action-packed Knock-out class on Saturday night no one was faster than Pius Schwizer and Anisette de Lassus. The pair stormed to a much cheered victory in the final. It was on the last line when Schwizer literally flew past Martin Fuchs and Mighty de Riverland. With the French chestnut mare Pius Schwizer also took a fine second place in the Challenge and a third place in the Jump & Drive. – Toulago made his long-awaited comeback in the Hallenstadion. He competed in the smaller classes here an will be in action again at the World Cup in Bordeaux (6th till 8th February). „I am glad Toulago is back. And I am also satisfied with my other two horses here. Anisette did a great job, and Armani proved again that he is a very brave horse who always wants to give its best“, Pius Schwizer said. Unfortunately he could not add any World Cup points with Armani the Gun CH. But he need some more, in order to qualify for the final in Las Vegas. After ten World Cup Qualifiers (out of 12) he is in 26th place in the Western European League with 27 points. The eighteen top ranked riders will be allowed to participate in Las Vegas. The big winner’s cheque in Zurich was taken by Spaniard Sergio Alvarez Moya who rode Carlos to a tight victory in the jump-off. Second came young Irishman Bertram Allen with Molly Malone V.
