Peter Leone and Gino win $200K American Gold Cup
Peter Leone too Lincourt Gino sailed to the win inwards the $200,000 American Gold Cup as the alone double clear Equus caballus too passenger combination.
Leone’s build clean circular (44.050 seconds) placed him ahead of Kent Farrington, who came inwards instant riding Voyeur amongst a fourth dimension of 41.630 seconds amongst 4 faults inwards the instant circular inwards Sunday’s competition, at Old Salem Farm inwards North Salem, New York.
McLain Ward, riding Antares F, claimed tertiary house amongst a fourth dimension of 42.00 seconds amongst 4 faults inwards circular two, piece Beezie Madden, riding Cortes C, earned the 4th house ribbon amongst a fourth dimension of 43.140 seconds, also amongst 4 faults inwards the jump-off.
Leone, an Olympic silvery medalist, rode tertiary inwards the jump-off too said his strategy was to run into how it unfolded equally Madden too Farrington took to the course of written report earlier him too how he would purpose that information to maintain Ward, the 4th rider, at bay.
“I watched Beezie real closely,” he said. “She had an unfortunate rail. I watched Kent. He had an unfortunate rail. So, I switched from poker to chess.”
Leone said he strategized to maximize the win. “So, I went quite fast,” he continued. “I idea real fast. But I went unopen to to the liverpool, the instant to lastly jump, to maximize the probability of going clear too position only plenty pressure level on McLain to forcefulness him to teach within too brand a mistake.”
Leone, indeed, poured on the juice inwards the jump-off equally he sliced the left plough betwixt the oxer at #3B too the unmarried at #4, shaving precious fourth dimension off his ride. Gino was happy to oblige too handily galloped through the relaxation of the eight-jump course. Gino is a 9-year-old Irish Gaelic Sport Horse gelding owned past times Monica Carrera, a junior at Endicott College.
Ward, a two-time Olympic Gold medalist, who rode last, knew he was going to cause got to cut some fourth dimension later Leone’s clear round. The 12-year sometime gelding, Antares, stumbled betwixt the oxer at #3B too the unmarried at #4, putting Ward at a disadvantage.
“Obviously, the terra firma was only breaking away a niggling fighting at that topographic point on the plough later the double, too my Equus caballus stumbled too it threw my clock off a niggling bit,” Ward said. “I didn’t know just where I was at too I intend I only took also risky a plough on the liverpool too got at that topographic point a niggling fighting unbalanced.”
Farrington, 31, rode Voyeur, a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, instant inwards the jump-off. He also knew what he needed to create later Madden knocked a runway downward at the light-green too white oxer at #3B.
“Beezie went amongst a runway down, but amongst 2 coming later me, I idea Peter would in all probability live able to teach tiresome too clear,” Farrington said. “And I idea McLain would kind of create upwards one's take away heed where it ended up. So, I also took a risk: I did i less pace into the double.”
Voyeur jumped the showtime wall of the double on #3 high too and then knocked downward a runway on the instant jump, the oxer at #3B, an obvious bogey during theAmerican Gold Cup competition.
“I genuinely idea my Equus caballus covered the distance OK too he jumped thus high coming out he only didn’t teach to the back,” Farrington continued. “In hindsight, it was in all probability only also extreme for the class. It was unnecessary. So, that was my error.”
Farrington said the course of written report blueprint was typical of designer Steve Stephens. “That was something yous don’t run into every day, yous know, a wall to an oxer or fifty-fifty a wall too a combination, but peculiarly amongst a unmarried wall that’s real airy similar that – i pace correct past times the inwards gate, downhill to an oxer,” he said. “You know, a lot going on.”
Madden, a two-time winner of the American Gold Cup too showtime inwards the guild of go, also had a occupation when she too 10-year-old Cortes took a runway at the light-green too white oxer on the #6 jump.
Leone added that the contest was the terminal demonstrate of the twelvemonth for Gino. “One affair nosotros create know is that Gino is done for the season, thus he had a squeamish lastly bird too we’re going to revisit Monica’s chemical scientific discipline on him.” Leone said. He added that Gino’s demonstrate sense volition live helpful to Carrera, whose plans may include showing the gelding herself.
“The script is unwritten,” Leone said.
