The two-week HITS Saugerties Fall Series began last week with HITS-on-the-Hudson VII, the prelude to the HITS Championship, the Richest Weekend in Show Jumping. HITS VII featured the final Devoucoux and Platinum Performance Hutner Prix qualifiers of the season, as well as Marshall & Sterling League classes and classics and two Grand Prix. With fall in the air, riders put the their best foot forward in preparation for next week’s Championship classes which include the $500,000 AIG Grand Prix, $250,000 Diamond Mills and $100,000 Platinum Performance Hunter Prix Finals, $15,000 Green Hunter Prix, and $25,000 Black Barn Jr/A-O/Am Jumper Prix.

With the HITS Saugerties Fall Series underway, we thank exhibitors for continuing to comply with the health and safety measures being implemented, including social distancing, wearing of masks, and hand washing.

Featured competition in the Grand Prix Stadium began Wednesday with Kevin Mealiff winning the $5,000 HITS Open Welcome aboard ALL GOLD DES ISLES. Mealiff crossed the timers in 43.247 to take the top honors.
