LAKE PLACID (AP) — Christine McCrea of East Windsor, Conn., rode Romantovich Take One to victory in the $30,000 Intercat Jumper Classic at the 40th Annual Lake Placid Horse Show.
McCrea, winner of the show's $75,000 Hermes Grand Prix in 2007, was one of six to qualify for a tiebreaking jump-off by riding without penalty over the 16-jump course. She was then the first to return for the eight-jump tiebreaker and set the mark to beat with a second fault-free ride and a time of 34.51 seconds.
Danielle Torano of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., finished the jump-off fault-free in 35.25 seconds on Vancouver D'Auvrey for second place.
Candice King of Wellington, Fla., had the only other clean ride in the jump-off in 38.49 seconds on Skara Glen's Rebozo.
