O'Connor unbeatable in Ocala's Grand Prix
After a rainy day the sun was shining in full during the 1.60m Longines Grand Prix in Ocala. The HITS main class counted only three combinations in the ultimate jump-off.

Both Isabelle Lapierre and Emanuel Andrade just not qualified for the jump-off with one time penalty in the main round. Eventually it was Ireland's show jumping rider, Cian O'Connor who set the fastest clear round. Aboard the 11-years-old Selle Francais-gelding, Seringat (by Chef Rouge) O'Connor Galloped around in 41.22 seconds.

The record time was just enough take the victory away from USA's Elizabeth Madden and Sjaak Sleiderink's former approved-sire, Breitling Ls (by Quintero). The 11-year-old stallion crossed the finish faultless in 41.43 seconds.

Also Ali Wolff and the 12-years-old Casall (by Casall ASK) cleared out the track. The pair finished clear in 41.86 seconds, placing third.

Canada's Isabelle Lapierre and the 10-years-old KWPN-mare, Cescha M (by Diamant de Semilly) followed in a fourth place with one time penalty in the first round. Emanuel Andrada completed the top five with Ricore Courcelle (by Quincy).
