Perfect 2024 Records: Leone Jei & Elektric Blue's Flawless Start to the Year
Meet the horses who have not yet incurred a single penalty at five-star 160 level since the start of 2024.
A total of 24 horses have yet to be faulted at five-star 160 level in 2024 to date.
Only two horses in the entire world have jumped FIVE five-star 160 rounds and have remained clear in all of them.
Martin Fuchs' Leone Jei was the first to reach this milestone this season.
After a clear in the LLN Ocala Grand Prix and claiming victory, he also produced a double clear round for the Swiss team in the Longines League of Nations. A couple of weeks later, the pair produced another clear in the Rolex Grand Prix of Windsor, another Grand Prix they went on to win.
Max Kühner's Elektric Blue P jumped his first five-star 160 of the year in the Rolex Grand Prix of Windsor, where they finished inside the Top 10.
Their peak event however was the Rome Piazza di Siena show, where the pair produced a double clear in the Nations Cup on Friday, followed by a double clear in the Rolex Grand Prix on Sunday and finishing on the podium.
Salim Ahmed Al Suwaidi & Foncetti vd Heffinck have only formed a combination for a couple of months.
They competed in their first five-star 160 class just last week at the CSIO Rome. They produced a solid clear round in the first round of the Nations Cup. Unfortunately, the UAE team failed to qualify for the second round which left Salim & Foncetti without a chance to attempt the double clear. They did make it up however, by also producing a double clear in Sunday's Rolex Grand Prix.
A promising start for this young combination.
