Local rider Katherine Strauss won the $25,000 Campbell Stables Show Jumping Derby defeating Cloe Hymowitz, of New York, NY, in a two-horse jump-off from a field of 24 entries at the 41st annual Hampton Classic Horse Show. "It feels great, said the Southampton, NY, resident. "I have been working with my horse for a long time and it feels really great to have this result. I adjusted my approach to riding him and it's had a great outcome, so I'm really happy." Strauss went first in the jump-off on Capacity, owned by Katherine Strauss, LLC, and was on track for a fast clear round, but had a rail at the last fence for a four fault score in a time of 36.150 seconds, opening the door for Hymowitz and Fineman, owned by Rose Hill Farm. Hymowitz had the benefit of going last and as a result of Strauss' less than perfect round, her plan was to go slow and clear. Her plan failed when she fell at the first part of the combination.
