McLain Ward Victorious Again! This Victory With Viktor!

Tampa, FL – March 23 - McLain Ward won the $60,000 Grand Prix of Tampa riding Viktor., McLain finished first and second on Hurricane and Labelle in the 1.50 m Class the day before this class.

Six horses qualified for the timed jump-off out of a field of 35 competitors in the Grand Prix of Tampa. But McLain and Viktor were the last to go in the jump-off and beat the time of the only other clean round in the jump-off. Candice King and Calsikan were the other clear and finished 2nd. Viktor is a Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Harry R. Gill and McLain Ward. Viktor won $18,000 for his victory today. But today was important as it was the last event to qualify riders for the $200,000 Budweiser American Invitational and this class was a World Cup Qualifier as well. McLain already tops the list of qualifiers for both the Invitational and the World Cup. Guilherme Nogueira Jorge of Brazil was the course designer and the course proved worthy of a World Cup Class with penalties spread about the course.
