Press release from Del Mar International
Thursday evening was a fantastic one at Del Mar International with the $36,500 CaptiveOne Grand Prix Qualifier 1.50m. The Alan Wade designed course was tackled by 63 horse and rider combinations and consisted of 16 efforts including one double and one triple. From that large field, 14 advanced to the jump off, and it was Mariano Maggi (SWE) and Sanvano who set a pace no one could catch.
"I was very, very happy with him," said Maggi of the 10-year-old bay Oldenburg gelding owned by Uma O'Neill. "He has a lot of scope and a lot of potential. He's a little bit green but I am very happy with him."
