Lake Placid, New York, USA – July 5, 2019 – Tomas Yofre (ARG) rode Kavalli di Magico to the win in the $30,000 FarmVet Jumper Classic at the 2019 Lake Placid Horse Shows, Sponsored by Bainbridge Farms, LLC and Presented by Sea Shore Stables, LLC in Lake Placid, New York, USA.
After 16 of 34 entries rode clean over the 15-effort, first -round course designed by Bernardo Costa Cabral (POR), Peter Lutz (USA) set an early mark to beat with a clean ride over the eight-jump tiebreaker course, finishing clean in 38.176 seconds on Excellent (Cicero Z van Paemel x Ahorn). His lead held for nine rides till Ilan Bluman (COL) finished clean in 37.889 seconds on J-Boston S.E (Boris van het Kluizebos x Guido).
Yofre, who rides with Missy Clark and John Brennan‘s North Run, followed Bluman on course and used tight turns to shave time and claim the win aboard the 9-year-old chestnut Belgian Warmblood stallion (Emerald van’t Ruytershof x Flamenco de Semilly) with a clean ride in 37.321 seconds. “Missy and John had a good plan and the horse jumped amazing,” Yofre said.

“The ground was really good and we were able to turn fast. I turned short to number 8 (third fence in the jump-off), a really big oxer, then turned tight to the combination, and then fast to the last vertical and then just went fast to the last fence. I’m thankful that it all worked out!”
Ilan Bluman (COL) finished second with Peter Lutz (USA) third and two-time Olympic Silver medalist Anne Kursinski (USA) taking fourth with a clean jump-off ride in 38.742 seconds on UK.
