LAMAZE MASTERS ZADA ENTERPRISES GRAND PRIX
WELLINGTON, FLORIDA -- February 25, 2001 -
Canadian Eric Lamaze registered his first major win of the season, guiding
Husker Du to the only double-clear round to capture the $75,000 Zada
Enterprises, L.L.C. Masters Cup Sunday in Wellington.
Lamaze and Husker Du, a 12-year-old Dutch warmblood, riding second in the
jump-off field of eight, cleared the seven jumping efforts in 45.898 seconds.
"With six riders behind me (in the jump-off), I felt I had nothing to
lose," said Lamaze, who earned $22,500. "It was a bit unexpected.
This is only the fourth time I've ridden Husker Du. He's a brave, very
dependable horse who makes my job easy."
Lamaze is preparing Husker Du for owner Dominique Richter of California, who is
attending college and will take over riding duties again this summer. Lamaze
and Husker Du also won the $10,000 Kilkenny Wellington Classic on February 10
and placed fourth in the $25,000 WEF Challenge Cup on Thursday.Today's event
will be aired on Fox Sports Net, March 8 @ 11:00am or watch your local
