father-eight-time Olympian Ian Millar, 54-on Ivar was second, and his sister,

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.
