The day after winning his first five-star grand prix in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Spruce Meadows on Saturday, America’s Andrew Kocher found himself in the spotlight again on Sunday.

Kocher and his mount Carollo completed the two-round 1.60m Queen Elizabeth II Cup in a tie with Hardin Towell and Joli Jumper. The tie was broken by jump-off over a third round when Towell had a rail leaving Kocher with the win.

“I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s a dream come true, I don’t even know how it happened. This is the biggest (victory) I have ever had,” said Kocher afterward.
