Shanghai Swans powered to pole position in an intensely competitive GCL Mexico City R1 as riders Christian Ahlmann and Katrin Eckermann vowed to convert their strong position into a win tomorrow.

Ahlmann explained: “We had to stay clear it was the most important thing today, luckily we have the best position for tomorrow but it’s only the position and it’s only half time so still a lot to do. I don’t think we will make any rider changes for tomorrow. We will have to do a meeting after this class. My plan is to jump Solid Gold and Katrin has also Cala Mandia which was very successful last week so we have two options for tomorrow.”

A smiling Eckermann then added: “It’s completely different to Miami, a big arena a lot of nice fences but my horse jumped great today so it’s good they like both types of arenas.”
