Spectators filled the grandstands of the Sanctuary Arena this afternoon for the $25,000 World Equestrian Center Grand Prix and the $7,500 Futures Prix 1.30m sponsored by Voltaire Design. There was a nail biting jump off in the Grand Prix with just two entries going double clear. Ultimately, it was Kelley Robinson and her own Blue’s Yer Daddy (Mr. Blue) that took home the win. Michael Kocher dominated the Futures Prix this afternoon, taking first and third place aboard his own Captain Jack Sparrow H (Cassin x Unicutus) and Andrew Kocher’s Hector AAD (Lord Z x Ricci van de Olmenhoeve), respectively.

Sixteen entries represented four countries in this afternoon’s $25,000 World Equestrian Center Grand Prix. The course for the class was designed by Bobby Murphy of Lexington, Kentucky and featured fifteen jumping efforts including three combinations, forward lines and inside track options. Just two entries managed double clear rounds, but it was Kelley Robinson and her own Blue’s Yer Daddy (Mr. Blue) that nabbed the win.

The pace setters in this afternoon’s Grand Prix were Isabel Harbour and Ashland Farms’ Rivale du Barquet (Adelfos x Gamine D’Arade). The pair frequent the 1.30-1.40m jumpers taking top placings. This afternoon, Harbour and the fourteen year old Selle Francais gelding took their time in the first round, making sure to leave all rails up in a time of 81.069 seconds, still under the time allowed of 84 seconds.
