The Spruce Meadows “Harvest Classic” Tournament came to a close today with the 1.40 m Richardson Partners Financial Cup.  There were 25 entries that made their way into the ring each looking to move onto the jump-off round.

The course was designed by Anthony D’Ambrosio and he tested each horse/rider combination that came into the ring.  Only 7 were up to the challenge and able to return for the jump-off. 

After the first into the ring, Emily George (CAN) and Quidams Ramiro, put down a clear round it was clear speed would win.  George’s time to beat was 40.80seconds.
