Wellington, Florida, USA – Sunday, February 02, 2020 – The $213,300 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Wellington CSI4*-W highlights the first week of Palm Beach Masters Series® competition at Deeridge Farms for the fifth straight year.
The main event will feature the 40 best athletes from Friday’s $72,900 Candy Tribble Qualifier CSI 4*-W.
An incredible field will line up to compete in what will be the penultimate qualifier of the 2019/2020 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ North American League season. Points received from the event will determine the seven east coast U.S. riders and three west coast U.S. riders that will earn invitations to the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final in Las Vegas in April. The top two Canadian and Mexican riders in the standings will also qualify out of the North American League.
Three former World Cup Final Champions will come forward Sunday, including Beezie Madden (USA), who has twice won the Final (2011, 2018). McLain Ward (USA) won the Final the last time it was held in the United States, triumphing in Omaha in 2017, while Beat Mändli (SUI) won the Final in 2007, one of six previous occasions when the Final was held in Vegas.
Also among the field will be the event’s defending Champions, Alex Granato (USA) and Carlchen W. The pair recorded their first World Cup victory at Deeridge Farms in 2019 and went on to represent the United States in the 2019 Pan American Games (PER), where they earned a team bronze medal.
The leaders of both the east and west coast sub league standings of the North American League, Brian Moggre (USA) and Karl Cook (USA), will line up, as well as the World’s No. 1 ranked rider, Martin Fuchs (SUI). Fuchs captured the 2019 FEI European Championships after making his Palm Beach Masters Series® debut last year.
The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ is set for 1:30pm on Sunday, Feb. 2. Admission and parking at Deeridge Farms are free.
