Wellington, Florida, USA – May 07, 2021 – Friday’s action was highlighted by a win for Israel’s Ashlee Bond (ISR) and Contefina LVF, owned by Ashlee Bond Show Jumping, in the $10,000 Bainbridge Companies 1.40m Open Stake.

As only the second pair in the order, Ashlee Bond (ISR) and the nine-year-old Holsteiner mare (Contefino 2 x South Pacific) led from start to finish, blazing the trail in the immediate jump-off with a foot-perfect time of 34.11 seconds.

Known for his quick riding, Kent Farrington (USA) came the closest to the leaders’ time on his own Orafina, tripping the timers fault-free but one second too slow in 35.18 seconds to claim the second-place position. Conor Swail (IRL) of Ireland rounded out the top three podium spots on Balzane Du Mazes, owned by Vanessa Mannix, in a double-clear time of 35.67 seconds.
