SWISS spectators were treated to a superb moment of top sport when homegrown hero, Martin Fuchs (26), stormed to victory on Sunday’s 10th leg of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup 2018/2019 Western European League at Basel.

This was the 10th year of the fixture staged in the medieval Swiss town, but the first time for the venue at St Jakobshalle to host a leg of the Jumping World Cup series. And the young man who scooped individual silver at last year’s FEI World Equestrian Games™ made it all the more memorable when steering his faithful grey gelding Clooney to a last-to-go win in a nail-biting three-horse jump-off against the clock.
