One week following his stunning win in the €200,000 Grand Prix of La Baule, France, Canadian Olympic Show Jumping Champion Eric Lamaze made it two in a row by claiming the €200,000 Grand Prix of Rome, Italy, on Sunday, May 25.

When Lamaze won the €200,000 Grand Prix of La Baule, France on May 18 riding Powerplay, it marked his first five-star victory since his partnership with Hickstead. Now, the Canadian show jumping star has done it again, claiming the €200,000 Grand Prix of Rome one week later with Zigali P S.

In an incredible twist of fate, Lamaze also won the Grand Prix of La Baule and the Grand Prix of Rome back-to-back in 2011 with Hickstead, just months before the great stallion’s tragic death.
