Guadalajara, Jalisco, MEX – Jan. 25, 2018 – Thirty-nine horse and rider combinations were put to the test by world-renowned course designer Guilherme Jorge in Thursday’s qualifier for Saturday’s $100,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Guadalajara. Five riders were fault-free over the stout track with a variety of related lines, a triple combination early on, and ending with a triple bar to a double combination. The first three fences as well as the triple bar proved to be the most difficult aspects of the track, coming down multiple times. The time allowed also proved to be a challenge, with a third of the class adding time faults to their final score.
Moving up from last year’s second place finish in this class, the first to jump off and first to finish double-clear, Brazilian Rodrigo Lambre and Mario Onate’s Coleman, posted what turned out to be an unbeatable time of 44.72 seconds.
“I love coming to this show and jumping courses designed by Guilherme, and I am very happy with the new footing here,” Lambre noted. “I also look forward to competing with Coleman in Ocala, Florida for the Nations Cup class this season.”
The only other double-clear ride came from American Jamie Barge and her long time partner Luebbo, who took a conservative track in 51.31 seconds.
Day two kicked off at 8 a.m. with 68 competitors in the Mexico Ecuestre Cup 1.35m. Of the 17 clean rides, it was Arturo Navarro Reynoso (MEX), aboard Cecilia Swartz’s chestnut gelding, Armani G who lead the victory gallop. The pair stopped the timers in 29.87 seconds, over three seconds quicker than the second-place finisher, Nicolas Pizarro (MEX) aboard Cuautla LS. Agustin Aguayo (MEX) and Dorian finished in a close third with a time of 33.25 seconds.
Of the thirty-five riders in the Loteria Nacional 1.40m, Hector Caro (MEX) rode his own mount, Craig, to the win, stopping the clock in 55.51 seconds. Second and third-place finishers, Antonio Maurer (MEX) aboard Valegro and Juan Manuel Luzardo (URU) aboard Quidandro, were close behind, finishing in 55.98 seconds and 56 seconds respectively.
Stay tuned for more FEI CSI4*-W action through the week where Saturday will feature the$100,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Guadalajara.
