SAUGERTIES, NY (May 17, 2001)-Horse Shows In The
Sun has announced that the Outdoor Life Network will broadcast the $100,000
Grand Prix of Ocala presented by Great American Insurance Companies Inc. on

International Show Grounds in Ocala, Florida, on March 11, 2001, the broadcast
shows the unique event in which the Millar family of Perth, Ontario, placed
first, second and third.
Jonathan Millar, 27, riding Fine Line won the $100,000 Grand Prix, his
father--eight-time Olympian Ian Millar, 54--on Ivar was second, and his sister,
Amy Millar, 23, was third on Mill Creek Roseanne. The Millars were the only
riders in a field of 44 to go clear on the Round One course built by Course
Designer Anthony D'Ambrosio. The three went head-to-head in the Jump-Off.
Jonathan and Fine Line, an 11-year old Dutch Warmblood stallion, had the only
fault-free trip in the tiebreaker. Jonathan, as owner/rider, took home $30,000
for his win.
