GCT Monaco: new ranking in Grand Prix for Elky
Only French rider entered in Monaco the last weekend, Kevin Staut performed an event similar to Cannes, where despite correct courses, he did not manage to concretize good results.
Kevin Staut: "The current period is not obvious. Horses who compete with me are in very good form but we lack every time of a little something which would allow us to get more concrete results.
The event of Monaco took place in the same lineage as that of Cannes. My two mares performed very good courses.
Silvana is clear round in the opening class which aimed to prepare her for the big class on Friday. Unfortunately, we commit a small fence in the first round of this one and are thus deprived of jump-off.
With Elky, we manage to qualify ourselves every time for the 2nd round or for the jump-off, but 4 points penalize us each time. Elky takes all the same the 10th place of the Grand Prix in spite of our fault on the last fence of the 2nd round.
These faults are really infuriating. I do not stop questioning myself to see what I have to improve. There are always little things to modify from a course to an other one, this is certain, but when horses jump well, when all the conditions are gathered to succeed, it is disappointing to don't get better performances.
This weekend, I put back my title in set in Paris GCT Grand Prix. My objective is to reiterate the same performance as the spent year or at least to reach the podium. I am really decided to put an end to this bad period.
