Vanessa Mannix Nabs another win in Thermal!

Wednesday was a day for the mares, and it was also a day for Vanessa Mannix. The Canadian took another Two Phase win Wednesday, making her record two for two in two-phase action so far this month. Not only was she the winner of the CSI4* Two Phase aboard Carmela Z, but her horse also won the CSI2* Two Phase with James Chawke (IRL) aboard.

In the first jumper class on the grass field of the 2023/2024 season, the blades were glorious and the footing was perfect, which carried One Edition (Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve, breeder: Davenport Stables) to the win. A horse previously in the winner’s circle at a lower level, Chawke felt the mare, owned by Mannix, was ready to step into international action. He thinks very highly of her, still new to the barn, and felt confident heading into this first FEI challenge.

Chawke and One Edition ended up winning by a margin of over one second. Laura Hite (USA) and Aviator Z (BReitling LS, breeder: Astrid & Ad Beijsens), owned by HF Farms, claimed second, while Alexis Sokolov (USA) and Fasole du Seigneur (Doremi, breeder: Marc Vanlangendonck) claimed third.

As the CSI4* horses came out to the field, Mannix had the cards fall in her favor yet again, and this time she was the pilot and the owner. After coming in third to her trainer Conor Swail (IRL) last week in the CSI3* Grand Prix, Mannix topped the Irishman, riding Carmela Z (Candillo Z, breeder: F. Verhagen) to victory. Swail and Vital Chance de la Roque (Diamant de Semilly, breeder: Marie Bourdin), a pair who won last season’s final CSI4* Grand Prix, took second place, while Mannix also rounded out third with a newer ride, Lehar (Verdi TN, breeder: Jos-Michiels-Yskout).
