Edited press release from Spruce Meadows
On Friday afternoon, the top riders out of the 'Masters' CSI3* competed in their final event of the week, the CSI3* 1.50m Enbridge Grand Prix in the International Ring at Spruce Meadows. Seventeen riders were challenged by the 480m track that consisted of 12 obstacles (14 jumping efforts) that needed to be completed in a time of 77 seconds or less.
Only two riders passed that test, the first of which was Natalie Dean (USA) who was also first into the ring in the first round. Aboard Cocolina (Conthargos x Carolina), Dean laid down an unbeatable clear round in a time of 37.73s. With a time of 38.22s in the jump-off, Rowan Willis (AUS) took second with Wellington Grey Goose (Gorlensky G x Grandero), while third went to Bretton Chad (CAN) and Grandeur WP (Whistler x Brenieta) that picked up one time fault in round one.
