This time at La Baule, in the great Sunday mass of the Rolex Grand Prix, at the end of a jump-off where it was not only about being fast, but also about having the right horse, the right left hand and just the right dose of insolence. Result: the Italian bags another 5* Grand Prix, his second Rolex Series win of 2026. A real shame, honestly, that there still is no overall ranking. At this pace, \u201cPG\u201d would already be choosing the colour of the leader\u2019s armband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2280\" height=\"884\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-2280x884.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49933 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-2280x884.jpg 2280w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-1140x442.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-768x298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-1536x596.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-2048x794.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-18x7.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-13-1320x512.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\/884;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seven chosen ones for one last dance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were forty-five starters in this 1.60m Grand Prix, launched under a heavy heat that felt like a Sunday of truth.

With Ermitage Kalone, the essential thing was elsewhere: continuing to put the stallion back on the rails of the very top level. One fault, yes. But an impression far more positive than during his outing in Aachen a few weeks earlier. Looking towards the summer, that is no small detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/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\/GP-LB-26-31-2280x1520.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49941 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-2280x1520.jpg 2280w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.sohorse.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GP-LB-26-31-1320x880.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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Irish side, four faults each for Bertram Allen and Cian O\u2019Connor.
