Ulysse Morinda is one of the only colored stallions competing at 1.60, he entered this small elite circle on the 16th of June 2019 when he won the Boleworth GP in England. It was the biggest and most important victory of his career.

Here is what was written in Grand Prix, one of the numerous magazines which covered the event:
"With great style, Rik Hemeryck beat a whole host of British riders on their home ground in the 4* Grand Prix at Bolesworth! Riding Ulyss Morinda, an eleven year old Selle Francais stallion, the Belgian rider executed a perfect jump off in a time of 38.33 seconds. Three tenths of a second slower was the American Laura Kraut who came second with Vvaramog de Breve, followed by the British Ellen Whitaker, also double clear in 39.31 seconds."​
