Sharn Wordley and his own Gatsby took the win in the $75,000 CaptiveOne Advisors Grand Prix during week ten of the World Equestrian Center – Ocala Winter Spectacular on Saturday, March 13. Wordley and Gatsby were the quickest of a 13-horse jump-off to secure the win. Santiago Lambre took second and third aboard Comtess and Easy Girl, respectively. When asked about his plan for the course, Wordley commented, "Santiago had five in the class and four in the jump-off, and he’s always really hard to beat, so my plan was to go just a little bit faster than Santiago." Wordley's jump-off time ended up being only four one-hundredths of a second quicker than Lambre's second place time, but was enough to take the win.
“I love this place," Wordley continued. "I love the management, I love the classes, I love the crowd, I love everything. I’ve show jumped in 36 countries around the world and this is by far the best place that I’ve been to. It’s so nice to have it on my doorstep, too."
