Only Two Horses Qualify for the Jump Off in the $100,000 US Open Jumper Championship

Wellington, FL – March 9, 2003 – The last day of competition for hunters and jumpers in Wellington, Florida was today and all in all it was a very good Winter Equestrian Festival. The competitors will move to Tampa to the fairgrounds for three more weeks of competition to culminate with the Budweiser American Invitational on March 29 in Raymond James Stadium.

The final day saw Beezie Madden and Judgement win the $100,000 Cosequin U.S. Open Jumper Championship over a field of 32 horse and rider combinations. Of the 32, only 2 horses qualified to return for the jump off. Beezie Madden and Judgement returned first and had a clean round with a good pace. Anne Kursinski with The Eros Group’s Eros returned second and was going very quickly and looked to beat the time but unfortunately had the last jump down to score 4 faults. Judgement, a Dutch Warmblood stallion is owned by Iron Spring Farm of Coatesville, PA. In third place was Todd Minikus riding Gardenio, a Hanoverian black gelding, who had only a single time fault in the first round. Gardenio is owned by the YZ Partners.
