HITS, Inc. is pleased to announce that Canadian Pacific (CP) has signed on as the title sponsor of the $1 Million Grand Prix – FEI CSI-5*, at HITS-on-the-Hudson Sunday, September 6, 2015.

The Canadian Pacific $1 Million Grand Prix, FEI CSI-5*, presented by Wells Fargo, will draw the world’s top riders to HITS-on-the-Hudson for the grand finale of the HITS show jumping season. Based on the prize money and its FEI 5* status, the Canadian Pacific $1 Million Grand Prix, FEI CSI-5*, presented by Wells Fargo, should be the highest-ranked show jumping event in the United States this year. CP is the leading show jumping Grand Prix sponsor in North America, and HITS is thrilled to have this world-renowned transportation company as the title sponsor for its largest event of the year.

“My hope has always been for this to be the most important jumping class in America,” said HITS President and CEO Thomas Struzzieri. “For the past several years we have had a major corporate sponsor for this class, and even when that contract expired we elected to continue to hold this event. That decision was fostered by our hope to keep the momentum that the class had achieved over the past five years. Our decision has been rewarded by Canadian Pacific signing on as the title sponsor. This creates the perfect marriage between the most significant class in the U.S. and the most generous sponsor that the sport has ever known.”
