horse Three In A Row For Tracy Fenney At The HITS Ocala Winter Circuit

Ocala, FL (February 24, 2003)—Tracy Fenney was jubilant as she entered the winners' circle for the third Sunday in a row to claim her win in the $50,000 King Shavings Grand Prix. Fenney has become a familiar face in the winners' circle at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit. Her season's wins have included two previous $50,000 Grand Prix classes with Grace, a thoroughbred mare owned by Hidden Lakes Farm.

Fenney topped a field of thirty-four riders to capture Sunday's $50,000 King Shavings Grand Prix with her mount S&L Willie, co-owned by Mike McCormick and S&L Farm's. Ian Silitch turned in a double-clear with his bay gelding Cable to earn him second place. Tricia O'Connor rode Cloverlea Farm's Irish gelding Furistos Treasure to take third place.

Danny Foster designed a challenging 14-obstacle Grand Prix course that only four riders could master. "I really enjoyed building in Ocala. The conditions were exceptional and the footing was near perfect," said Foster. "The depth of top-notch horses and riders was unsurpassed. Tracy Fenney was outstanding. She showed skill, determination, and possesses and eerie calm about her."

Whatever her secret, Fenney has proved herself to be the top contender here at the 2003 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit. She is definitely the one to watch at the upcoming Grand Prix events over the next two weeks.

Only four riders turned in clear first rounds to advance to the jump-off in the $50,000 King Shavings Grand Prix. Ian Silitch and Cable were the first to tackle the 8-fence jump-off course. Silitch went clear and established the Great American Insurance Group Time To Beat of 57.13 seconds. Kim Burnette and her mount Jappaloe were next to ride. The pair had an unlucky round accumulating a total of 20 faults. Fenney and S&L Willie were next to take their turn in the ring. Horse and rider gave a stellar performance leaving all the rails up and finishing in an unbeatable time of 53.54 seconds. Tricia O'Connor and Furistos Treasure finished out the field with an eight-fault performance which secured them third place.
