Canadian Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze took his winning streak at the Spruce Meadows Summer Series to new heights by claiming two victories on Thursday, July 5, in Calgary, AB.

Having topped a 49-horse starting field to win the first class of the day, the $35,500 1.45m ATCO Cup riding Chesney, Lamaze later returned to the International Ring with Fine Lady 5 to win the $131,600 1.55m Progress Energy Cup.

While two wins in one day is an incredible feat, Lamaze enjoyed impressive results all day long with six different horses. In addition to winning the $35,500 1.45m ATCO Cup with Chesney, an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Indoctro x Kannan) owned by Andy and Carlene Ziegler’s Artisan Farms, Lamaze also placed ninth after incurring one time fault with new mount Quality FZ, a nine-year-old Italian Sport Horse gelding (Quintender x Eurocommerce Berlin) owned in partnership with Ansgar and Ellen Holtgers.
