ESP Pre-Charity CSI3* week at Wellington International showcased a field of 48 horse-and-rider combinations in Thursday morning’s $37,000 Schneider's Saddlery1.45m CSI3*. Kicking off the week in top form, Gonzalo Busca Roca (ESP) aboard Stransky’s Mission Farm, Inc.’s Classified edged out their competitors to earn a place in the winner’s circle and the lion’s share of the prize money.

“It is the best feeling to start your week off with a win,” remarked Roca. “It was a good course to start the week. In the second phase, every fence came up a good distance, and I had a good time out there.”
