Wellington, Florida, USA – October 20, 2024 – The thrilling conclusion of ESP Fall II came on Sunday with the $24,999 CCTV Agent Grand Prix. France’s Marie Hecart (FRA) was last to go in the line-up of six riders whom all advanced to the jump-off, out of a class of 28. Hecart laid out a perfect round with Edonna D’Udine, owned by Normandie Connection, crossing the timers in a clear 36.214 second time.

No stranger to the Derby Field, Lebanon’s Jad Dana (LBN) came in a close second aboard Fleur-de-Lis’ Cherie, owned by the Cherie Group, with a time of 36.261 seconds, just .047 seconds slower than Hecart’s time.

Rounding out the podium was Juan Jose Bancalari Elmudesi (DOM) and his own entry, Cascais HC, with a clear time of 39.609 seconds.

“She’s [Edonna D’Udine] a really competitive mare. She’s really fast, she’s really careful, really brave,” explained Hecart. “It’s her first show [in Florida]. She first did the 1.30m and now the Grand Prix and she’s been really good.”
