Martin Fuchs wins the Swiss Cup Les Trois Rois final

Switzerland's number 2 Martin Fuchs has won the Swiss Cup Les Trois Rois final, the flagship national class of the Longines CSIO St. Gallen, reserved for the country's top ten riders. Run over two rounds under Table A, with the combined faults of both rounds and the time of the second round deciding the result, over obstacles up to 150 cm high, the class crowned only one double-clear combination.

Aboard Fortjump du Beaumenil, Fuchs delivered a double clear and completed his second round in 47.24 seconds. The win adds another line to his already extensive record in this competition, the rider from Bietenholz having previously won it in 2013, 2016 and 2019.

The rest of the podium was then decided between three riders on 4 penalties: Elian Baumann with Giorgio d'Altenbach took second place in 54.47 seconds, ahead of Evelyne Bussmann with Bonheur des Prés, third in 54.66 seconds. Among the other riders in the field were Switzerland's number 1 Steve Guerdat with C.H.C. Lilibet, in seventh place, and Pius Schwizer with Casimoso, eighth.
