“I figured to just give it a shot in the jump-off,” said Engle, who leads all riders in career victories. “He turned super for me. I feel like he’s on form. I’ve been saving him. He’s plenty fit.”

Only four of 46 entries advanced to the eight-obstacle jump-off course after riding penalty-free over the first-round course designed by Olaf Petersen of Muenster, Germany. Engle raced through the jump-off course in 41.16 seconds to earn the winner’s share of $22,500.

Katie Prudent took first and third place in the $7,500 Cosequin 1.45m Time First Jump-Off. Prudent, a resident of Middleburg, VA now riding for France, won the blue ribbon aboard Van Holland, a 12 –year-old Dutch-bred bay owned by Zeidler Farm, with a clean jump-off time of 36.711 seconds. Beezie Madden of Cazenovia, NY placed second on her mount Conquest II, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Patton of Cedarburg, WI. Madden finished with a jump-off time of 38.582 seconds. Prudent came back with the third place ribbon with another Zeidler Farm-owned horse, Lemon Park, finishing just splits behind Madden with a jump-off time of 38.668 seconds.

Chris Kappler of Pittstown, NJ captured his second grand prix win of the season in the $25,000 Zada Enterprises, LLC Challenge Cup. Kappler, aboard Ursa Major, a 9-year-old Belgian Warmblood, owned by High Dunes Farm of Grand Haven MI, bested a field of 61 starters with a blistering jump-off ride of 36.97 seconds. Only 6 horse-and-rider combinations emerged clean to advance to the jump-off. Nona Garson of Lebanon, NJ, up on her 2000 Sydney Olympic mount Rhythmical, finished in second place with a time of 37.64 seconds. Third place went to Danielle Torano of Ft. Lauderdale, FL aboard Lojona, owned by Sir Ruly, Inc. of Key Biscayne, FL, who finished just splits behind Garson with a time of 37.72 seconds.

Madden jumped into the winner’s circle aboard the 9-year-old Warmblood gelding, Alzu Woodlands in the $5,000 AmeriChoice/NAL Open Speed Challenge. The duo bested 96 horse-and-rider combinations through the 15-obstacle course with the fastest time of 71.819 seconds. McLain Ward of Brewster, NY aboard Galant finished second with a time of 72.877 seconds. Third place went to Jonathon Millar, son of Canadian Olympian Ian Millar, up on Fosters with a time of 73.602 seconds.
