Wellington, FL - December 9, 2007 - Eleven years ago this month in Wellington, McLain Ward lost the AGA Championships when he had one time fault and Margie Engle was the only clear round in the class. In this year’s $100,000 National Horse Show Grand Prix FEI World Cup™ Qualifier, that situation was exactly reversed. On his new phenom Phillipa, Ward was the only clear round to win the class. Engle and Hidden Creek’s Quervo Gold finished second with one time fault, while Keean White (CAN) and Vienna Rouge were third with two time faults.

The fastest four-faulter was Kent Farrington on Up Chiqui. His finish today was added to his second place finish in Friday night’s grand prix to give him victory in the Rolex/USEF National Show Jumping Championship, presented by Equine Motorcoach. Eric Lamaze and Narcotique de Muze II, winner of the first class, had 4 points and 1 time fault in the final class.
