“I would like to thank the St. Regis for a great day and a terrific competition,” said Madden. “I love it out here. All the horses competed well.”

On Saturday, the $50,000 Budweiser International Speed Derby begins at 3pm, following the $10,000 Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Classic. The Budweiser International Speed Derby is a thrilling event in which each horse and rider gallop over an obstacle course with jumps ranging as high as 5’!
