A few hours earlier, Guerdat had already won the Prix SAUR with Lancelotta, producing a double clear in the jump-off in 36.57 seconds. Then he did it again in the Derby with Easy Star de Talma. Two horses, two scenarios, two wins. The kind of Saturday where the truck leaves heavier than expected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2280\" height=\"1520\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-2280x1520.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Guerdat\" class=\"wp-image-49908 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-2280x1520.jpg 2280w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/derby-LB-26-1-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2280px) 100vw, 2280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2280\/1520;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, the Swiss rider did not hide behind the fake coolness of a blas\u00e9 champion.
