Laura Chapot and Quointreau Un Prince were victorious in the $35,000 Ruby et Violette WEF Challenge Cup Round 4 at the Winter Equestrian Festival.
"I am just thrilled with him," Chapot said of the 13-year-old Selle Francais gelding (Diamant de Semilly x Rosire) that she owns in partnership with McLain Ward. "Going first [in a jump-off] is always a little difficult, but I felt like I had a good plan with him. He just really rose to the occasion and jumped super today."
Just about half a second—that's the margin of victory Eric Lamaze had over Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum in the $180,000 Adequan Grand Prix.
Lamaze and Fine Lady 5 emerged victorious after a bold gallop to the last oxer. See how they pulled it off:
