Brazil’s Yuri Mansur and his Paris Olympic mare Miss Blue-Saint Blue Farm galloped to victory in today’s thrilling Rolex Grand Prix at CSIO Rome 2025 in Piazza di Siena.

The pair were ninth to go in the 12-horse second round against the clock and produced a smooth, fast run in 35.65 seconds that just couldn’t be bettered.

Ireland’s Cian O’Connor finished a close second with Iron Man in 35.76 while young French star, Nina Mallevaey, clinched third place with Dynastie de Beaufour in 36.35 seconds.

Mansur is only the second Brazilian rider to take the title in the long history of the Grand Prix of Rome. His compatriot Rodrigo Pessoa won the prestigious title with Let’s Fly in 2009.
