Edited press release from Major League Show Jumping
Conor Swail (IRL) and Count Me In (Count Grannus x Sherlock Holmes) are on an official streak, winning five FEI classes in as many months. Their second of the MLSJ series came in the Vector CSI5* 1.50m during Concurso de Salto Internacional at Club Hípico La Silla in Monterrey, Mexico. Three hundredths of a second is what gave Swail and the 14-year-old gelding the win.
"His consistency is phenomenal," said Swail of the horse. "He's turning into one of the best horses I've ever had and we're still only starting our career together. It's exciting looking forward. Every round I jump with him, he gets more confident, more comfortable. I'm delighted to win today and I'm looking forward to Sunday."
Swail, who is the newest member of team Eye Candy, will now point Count Me In towards Sunday's GNP CSI5* Grand Prix.
Trying her best with foot speed and efficient turns, Jana Wargers (GER) settled for second riding Limbridge (Limbus x Cambridge), while Sam Walker (CAN) finished third on Evita (Canturano x Farmer).
Major League Show Jumping continues with the $200,000 MLSJ Team Competition on Saturday afternoon at 2:3opm CT.
