Ward wins Friday's competition at I Love New York Horse Show
(Lake Placid, NY - AP) — McLain Ward swept the top two places in the jump-off today at the I Love New York Horse Show. Margie Engle of Wellington, Florida, was the first to qualify for the tie-breaking jump-off by riding clean over the 14-jump, first-round course at the North Elba Show Grounds. She then rode Calippo 12 to a four-fault score in 32.399 seconds over the seven-jump tiebreaker course to set the early mark. Ward, of Brewster, New York, rode Galant for a clean ride and followed it with a four-fault jump-off ride in 32.044 seconds. The remaining competitors didn't manage a clean ride to reach the jump-off until Ward turned the trick again on Larioso. He rode Larioso to a clean jump-off ride in 32.497 seconds to claim the win for having the fewest faults. Ward placed second on Galant while Engle finished third. The I Love New York Horse Show continues through Sunday.
