41 riders from 15 countries have entered August's Mongol Derby, known as "The Longest Horse Race on the Planet" and "the longest, toughest horse race in the world," across the wild and remote steppes of Mongolia.

Riders race 40 km at a time over 1000 km from urtuu to urtuu where they change horses, imitating Genghis Khan's postal system. The Monogolian horses are "semi-wild", and riders negotiate their routes by map and GPS.

Alejandro on Zen Al Maury and Nuria on Tidjari, two flat-race horses now in endurance, did very well to win the 100-km One Star which was run in four stages of 32kms, 32kms, 20kms and 16kms.

“All three of us in fact did an extra 12kms as we got lost in the forest,” said the 26 year old Alejandro. The winner of the 120-km Catalunya Championship in Barcelona last year, Alejandro is keen to fight and get a place in the strong Spanish national team...
