The national New Years show at the equestrian center Palm Beach in Florida concluded with an exciting 30,000 USD Uhealth Grand Prix. After a jump-off with six, only three combinations produced a double clear round. Emanuel Andrade and the 15-year-old Quick Star-son, Nokia de Brekka set the fastest time. The pair crossed the finish in 42,673 seconds. Nokia is Pénélope Leprévost's Ratina d'la Rousserie halfbrother. Jackson Brittan followed as runner-up. Aboard the 13-year-old Easy Contact Humlan (by Quit Easy I) Brittan stopped the clock in 45,562 seconds. Leslie Howard and Up and Blue Chapelle (by Chacco Blue) placed third after a clear finish in 45,816 seconds. The top five was completed by Shane Sweetnam (Cobolt) and Mattias Tromp (Apart) in a fourth and fifth place. Next week the Winter Equestrian Festival kicks-off for its 2017 edition at Palm Beach.
