Global Champions Tour takes horse power to Monaco gateaux
The famous Formula One race recently passed through Monaco, but this weekend the principality will host a different kind of horse power when the Longines Global Champions Tour comes to the Riviera.
The elite show jumping circuit has built an arena on the site of the F1 pitlane with the backdrop of Port d'Hercule and the Prince's Palace making for a spectacular venue for round 10 of the tour.
And just like in the high-octane sport of F1, Ben Maher will be looking to roar past Pieter Devos and Daniel Deusser to snatch pole position in the standings.

Britain's Maher, the defending overall champion, came second in Cascais last week to climb to third, just a podium place away from top spot with the leading two riders absent in Monaco.
But five former winners from the jewel-in-the-crown event -- Shane Breen, Alberto Zorzi, Emanuele Gaudiano, Kevin Staut and Bassem Hassan Mohammed -- will also be hoping to secure victory in Monaco and with it a golden ticket to the Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix at the end of the year.
The Monaco venue is one of the smallest on the GCT circuit, sandwiched between the harbor and the road, and requires technical precision and skill from both horse and rider.
Among the galaxy of VIP guests will be His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and other members of the royal family who are patrons of the event.
