Ocala, FL – Santiago Lambre (MEX) claimed another big Winter Spectacular win on Saturday, March 20, in the $75,000 Agricon Kubota Superstore Grand Prix at World Equestrian Center – Ocala aboard Dingeman, a 13-year-old KWPN gelding owned by Aurora Rangel De Alba. The pair was last to take on the jump-off course, and crossed the timers in 36.850 seconds. “I was lucky to be the last to go in the jump-off so that I could see how fast I needed to go," said Lambre. "I took all of the risks from the beginning of the course because I saw that everyone was trying to be faster than Aaron Vale and most ended up one second behind. I could not just go for a clear round because there were already five clear. I know Dingeman very well, so I know he can go fast and clear the jumps. He is a winner. He has won in every country in Europe.” Lambre plans to give Dingeman next week off and enter his other two top mounts in the $200,000 Lugano Diamonds Grand Prix.

Manuel Torres Tops $7,500 WEC – Ocala Futures Prix 1.40m
Manuel Torres (COL) took the win in the $7,500 WEC – Ocala Futures Prix 1.40m aboard Caillou VL. The seven-year-old Oldenberg gelding owned by Fox View Farm were the quickest of only three double-clear rounds to take the win. “It worked out well for me today," said Torres. "I knew I had to go clean and be a little fast. He’s not a slow horse, so I gave it a little bit of a shot, and it worked out well, and he jumped amazing. Caillou VL was doing the 7-year-olds in Europe, but with the pandemic, he hadn’t shown in a while. We brought him straight to WEC, and we’ve been developing him over the past few weeks, and it has gone well.”
