The grand prix will be the culmination of qualifying opportunities in grand prix events at all of the 2010 HITS horse shows, including Thermal, Ocala, Arizona, Culpeper, and Saugerties.

“This is something we’ve been looking to do for some time now and the opportunity has finally presented itself,” said Tom Struzzieri, President and CEO of HITS. “We see this as a great opportunity for our customers and the sport. It’s also a chance for HITS to demonstrate our continued commitment to host a class of unprecedented significance and importance, both nationally and internationally.”

Riders will qualify for this historic event by showing in a pre-determined number of HITS Grand Prix events throughout the year. All HITS Grand Prix classes will be named qualifiers, allowing riders to show at any HITS event throughout the qualifying period, which will be from January through September. Once they compete in the designated number of Grand Prix classes to qualify, their money won on their leading horse will place them in the rankings for the event. The 40 top riders based on money won will be eligible for the class.
