All the right decisions, and perhaps a good dose of Las Vegas luck, led Germany’s Christina Heineking to victory in the $100,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Las Vegas.

“It was a great course that was challenging enough,” Heineking said. “I’m very happy. The time was really close and luck was on my side today.”

Seven riders ultimately advanced into the jump off in the fifth leg of the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping 2016/2017 North American League (Western Sub-League) with Mexico’s Enrique Gonzalez setting the time to beat midway through the order. Gonzalez and the 9-year-old mare Chacna won the third leg of the Western Sub-League in October and looked to be on form to repeat victory.
