Having won a €20,000 competition riding Narcotique de Muze II and placing second in a €30,000 event with his Olympic mount, Hickstead, on Saturday, Lamaze returned to the winner’s circle on Sunday afternoon for the tournament’s featured event, the €60,000 Grand Prix of Caen.

A total of 60 riders attempted to win the coveted €60,000 Grand Prix of Caen with nine posting clear rounds to advance to the jump-off. Lamaze, riding seventh in the order, took over the lead with a time of 38.07 seconds and neither of the two riders who followed were able to catch his time. Coming closest was Pauline Guignery of France, the only other rider to jump clear in the jump-off, who stopped the timers at 39.80 seconds.
