Pour sa premi\u00e8re apparition au CHI de Gen\u00e8ve, Donald Whitaker<\/strong> n\u2019a pas mis longtemps \u00e0 comprendre comment fonctionne Palexpo : on n\u2019y gagne qu\u2019en \u00e9tant grand. Et jeudi soir, le Britannique l\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9. Avec une Millfield Colette<\/strong> (Cornet Obolensky x Clearway) en apesanteur, il a domin\u00e9 le tr\u00e8s relev\u00e9 Troph\u00e9e de Gen\u00e8ve, premi\u00e8re \u00e9preuve \u00e0 1,60 m du week-end, devant Christian Ahlmann et Cian O\u2019Connor. Une entr\u00e9e en mati\u00e8re qui vaut bien plus qu\u2019une simple victoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le dernier \u00e0 partir, le premier \u00e0 marquer le week-end<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Dernier \u00e0 s\u2019\u00e9lancer dans un barrage r\u00e9duit \u00e0 neuf unit\u00e9s, privil\u00e8ge offert par un premier tour mod\u00e8le, Donald Whitaker a d\u00e9roul\u00e9 une copie presque insolente de ma\u00eetrise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Le cavalier de 33 ans a d\u00e9gain\u00e9 un double sans-faute d\u2019une insolence tranquille, d\u00e9posant d\u2019une seconde et demie le temps de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence sign\u00e9 quelques minutes plus t\u00f4t par Christian Ahlmann<\/strong> et son impressionnant Dourkhan Hero Z<\/strong> (Don’t Touch Tiji Hero x Zandor). Pourtant encore plus v\u00e9loce dans les virages que dans les galopades. Aura manqu\u00e9 le rush final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cian O\u2019Connor<\/strong>, poursuit sa lune de miel avec Chatolinue PS<\/strong> (Diablo Blanco x Stakkatol). Le jeune couple monte en puissance (juste 63 centi\u00e8mes derri\u00e8re Ahlmann) et compl\u00e8te le podium de cette \u00e9preuve pas vraiment faite pour s’endormir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au paddock, Whitaker avait encore les yeux ronds.
\u00ab C\u2019est incroyable, vraiment. Je travaille pour cela depuis longtemps, et r\u00e9ussir d\u00e8s le premier jour ici, c\u2019est fantastique. C\u2019est la premi\u00e8re fois que je viens \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve ; j\u2019ai toujours r\u00eav\u00e9 de monter ici.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il parle sans fard, comme un cavalier qui a conscience de la chance qu’il a d’avoir un tel cheval entre les jambes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Quand j\u2019ai march\u00e9 le parcours, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 un peu choqu\u00e9 \u00bb : un 1,60 m d\u00e9j\u00e0 XXL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genevois un jour, exigeant toujours.
Pour ouvrir le bal, G\u00e9rard Lachat et Gr\u00e9gory Bodo n\u2019ont pas fait dans l\u2019amabilit\u00e9. Un 1,60 m dense, technique, fa\u00e7on mini-Grand Prix dominical. Et Whitaker ne s\u2019en cache pas :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Pour \u00eatre honn\u00eate, quand je l\u2019ai march\u00e9, je l\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 tr\u00e8s difficile, surtout pour une premi\u00e8re journ\u00e9e. C\u2019est un Grand Chelem, donc on sait que ce sera gros et technique. Mais j\u2019ai quand m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 un peu choqu\u00e9 en d\u00e9couvrant le parcours ! Ceci dit, c\u2019\u00e9tait juste : il fallait vraiment sauter. Et le fait qu\u2019il n\u2019y ait eu que neuf sans-faute montre bien le niveau. Ici, on est face aux meilleurs cavaliers du monde. <\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le d\u00e9cor \u00e9tait pos\u00e9, et Millfield Colette s\u2019en est d\u00e9lect\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment il fait la diff\u00e9rence : \u00ab Elle est vraiment partie \u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le barrage, lui, a ressembl\u00e9 \u00e0 une d\u00e9monstration m\u00e9thodique : un d\u00e9but prudent, puis une mont\u00e9e progressive en intensit\u00e9 jusqu\u2019au vertical Rolex, avant-dernier obstacle, o\u00f9 tout bascule.
Whitaker raconte, lucide :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab J\u2019ai peut-\u00eatre \u00e9t\u00e9 un peu lent au d\u00e9but, mais j\u2019ai r\u00e9ussi un tr\u00e8s bon virage vers le mur, et ensuite elle est vraiment partie. Au retour vers le vertical Rolex, quand je lui ai demand\u00e9 d\u2019y aller, elle a parfaitement r\u00e9pondu. Sur la derni\u00e8re ligne, elle m\u2019a fait gagner beaucoup de temps. <\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et dans cette mont\u00e9e en pression, la jument a encore montr\u00e9 son caract\u00e8re. \u00ab Elle est incroyable : d\u00e8s qu\u2019il y a un grand rendez-vous, elle r\u00e9pond pr\u00e9sente. Je ne sais pas comment elle fait, mais elle le fait, \u00e0 chaque fois. <\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schmitz fr\u00f4le l\u2019exploit, K\u00fchner ouvre la voie, Guerdat et Brash dans le dur<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le barrage avait pourtant failli basculer avant m\u00eame l\u2019entr\u00e9e en sc\u00e8ne du Britannique. Le r\u00e9gional de l’\u00e9tape, le Genevois \u00c9douard Schmitz<\/strong>, signe le chrono le plus rapide avec Gamin van’t Naastveldhof<\/strong> (Chacco Chacco x Toulon)\u2026 avant de faire tomber le dernier vertical. Une claque s\u00e8che, un Palexpo qui y a cru autant que le cavalier, puis une ovation pour un cinqui\u00e8me rang \u00e0 la fois brillant et frustrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Max K\u00fchner<\/strong> (avec EIC Daloubet<\/strong>, Diamant de Semilly x Baloubet du Rouet) avait, lui, lanc\u00e9 les hostilit\u00e9s avec le premier double sans-faute, finalement quatri\u00e8me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derri\u00e8re, les pointures payent cash :
\u2013 Peder Fredricson<\/strong> faute sur l\u2019avant-dernier.
\u2013 Nicola Philippaerts<\/strong> emporte un \u00e9l\u00e9ment du mur.
\u2013 Steve Guerdat<\/strong> renverse les deux \u00e9l\u00e9ments du double, emport\u00e9 par l\u2019ambiance et son propre rythme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


\u2013 Scott Brash<\/strong>, premier \u00e0 s’\u00e9lancer dans l’\u00e9preuve, sorti par la porte puis rentr\u00e9 par la fen\u00eatre pour int\u00e9grer le barrage apr\u00e8s la modification du temps par le chef de piste. Malheureusement Brash ne va pas pouvoir en profiter. Hello Jefferson<\/strong> (Cooper van de Heffinck x Irco Mena) va s\u2019arr\u00eater devant le mur sur une incompr\u00e9hension alors que le couple \u00e9tait parti plein pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La suite : Colette au repos, les autres entrent en jeu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitaker n\u2019a pas l\u2019intention d\u2019en demander plus \u00e0 sa star du jour (et de l’ann\u00e9e) :
\u00ab Elle a fait son travail pour le week-end, probablement jusqu\u2019\u00e0 dimanche. Elle ne pouvait pas mieux faire aujourd\u2019hui.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le reste du programme sera port\u00e9 par Arlo de Blondel, attendue vendredi et samedi, et par DiCaprio, pressenti pour une grosse \u00e9preuve. Colette, elle, se mettra \u00e0 l\u2019ombre jusqu\u2019au Rolex Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour son premier CHI de Gen\u00e8ve, Donald Whitaker n\u2019a pas simplement gagn\u00e9 une \u00e9preuve.
Il a pris la grande porte pour sauter \u00e0 pieds joints dans ce rendez-vous genevois<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen\u00e8ve qui a peut-\u00eatre trouv\u00e9 sa r\u00e9v\u00e9lation du week-end. Et dimanche, pourquoi pas mettre une petite pi\u00e8ce sur Donald?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
