Bongo Drums Up A Repeat Win For McLain Ward In $210,000 CP Grand Prix At Spruce Meadows

Calgary, Alberta—June 14  

Last to go in a blazingly fast 11-horse jump-off, McLain Ward knew he’d have to pull out all the stops to win.

Lucky for him, Rothchild, or “Bongo,” knows just how to pin his ears, grit his teeth and dig in. “The horse really came through strong to the last fence because he had helped me out a little bit. It was a hard question to ask him,” Ward said.

So, for the second year in a row, Ward and Rothchild emerged victorious in the $210,000 CP Grand Prix during the Continental Tournament at Spruce Meadows.
