Bluman Rises from Below to Win CSI5* Winning Round
In back-to-back weeks in Canada, Daniel Bluman (ISR) has taken four CSI5* victories over just two shows.
You could say the World Championship Israeli team rider is on a roll, but for Bluman the success comes down to strategy.
“In every horse that I try to produce, I imagine the best way that they could go and I start working towards that direction,” Bluman said of his ever-evolving gameplan with each ride.
Karl Cook Makes $450,000 CSI5* Grand Prix His Own
The crowd knew they were in for a fast jump-off when Kent Farrington (USA) and Karl Cook (USA) were the only two jumping. Fast is exactly what they got.
The only two to navigate Alan Wade’s (IRL) track clear in the $450,000 Marshall & Sterling CSI5* MLSJ Grand Prix, the two Americans went head to head in front of the crowd to battle it out and contend for top honors. Farrington put in all he had with Orafina, who stayed incredibly careful all evening – and all week – to jump double-clear in a jump-off time of 35.27 seconds.
