Marilyn Little Wins Friday Feature at 33rd Annual Lake Placid Horse
Show
Lake Placid, NY June 28, 2002 Marilyn
Little of Frederick, MD rode Hertel Landman to victory in the $10,000
Turtle Lane Farm Jump-off Friday at the 33rd annual Lake Placid Horse
Show.
Little
was one of seven entries among the 20 starters to qualify for the
jump-off round by riding penalty-free over the 14-jump first-round
course at the North Elba Showgrounds. Christine Tribble of Suffield,
CT took an early lead in the jump-off when she rode After Eight
to a fault-free round, finishing the seven-jump tiebreaker course
in 41.236 seconds.
Little,
who has won the BET On Jazz U.S. Equestrian Team Show Jumping Talent
Derby a record four times, was the sixth to return for the tiebreaker
and she moved Tribble out of the lead with a clean ride in 38.965
seconds. The last entry, U.S. Equestrian Team veteran Mark Leone
of Franklin Lakes, NJ, also finished fault-free, but while his time
of 39.661 seconds on Pinkata De Longpre moved him ahead of Tribble,
it left him seven tenths of a second behind Little in second place.
