It was 19-year-old Eve Jobs with the fastest time on a beautiful Sunday at Thunderbird Show Park. Steve Jobs’ daughter was competing for the first time at Thunderbird, and after a successful week of competition she beat out many of the top riders in the sport, winning the Reliable Rentals $100,000 Grand Prix.
Aboard Venue D’Fees Des Hazalles, a 12-year-old Belgium mare, Jobs had two clear rounds and a winning time in the jump off of 44.16. Out of the eight riders in the jump off, Sayre Happy, riding Dolinn, was the only other rider to go clear, with a time of 45.46.
Jobs’ remarked after the class that she has not been riding Venue D’Fees Des Hazalles for very long. “I have actually only been riding her for a few weeks, so she’s a new mount for me,” says Jobs.
