Fifth place for Numero Uno son Ammeretto10 september 2015Sunday at HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, New York was anything but
an average day of show jumping competition. Horse sport royalty descended
on the Hudson Valley for the nation’s highest ranked class of the year,
the Canadian Pacific $1 Million Grand Prix FEI-CSI 5*, presented by Wells
Fargo. Thousands of spectators filled the grandstand and hundreds more watched
from the Legend VIP to get a glimpse of the historic event before them.
The sixth annual seven-figure Grand Prix held in Saugerties, debuted as
a FEI CSI-5* on September 6 and attracted the top riders from across the
world. A field of forty-one gave it a go over the course set by Steve Stephens
of Palmetto, Florida. It was evident as soon as the class began that the
track demanded a high level of athletic ability and mental toughness with
the first five entries scoring six faults or higher. With only four faults David Beisel ended fifth with the Numero
Uno son Ammeretto. He received $ 60,000. Back
