Ocala, United States – June 24, 2026 – Ocala, Fla., June 24, 2026 – Lebanon’s Jad Dana (LBN) and Mondavi emerged victorious in a razor-close finish to the $32,000 Florida Coast Equipment Speed Challenge CSI 4* during the fourth week of the WEC Ocala Summer Series at the World Equestrian Center – Ocala.

Run under Table A against the clock with no jump-off, the class rewarded bold yet efficient riding, and the leaderboard reflected just how little separated the top combinations. Dana and and the 9-year-old bay Irish Sport Horse mare (Tyson x Warrenstown You 2) produced a fault-free performance that ultimately proved unbeatable.

Competing over Alan Wade‘s (IRL) 1.45m speed track, featuring obstacles set at the height of 1.45 meters, Dana stopped the timers in 61.17 seconds, securing the win by just 0.28 seconds in one of the tightest contests of the week.

Canada’s Erynn Ballard (CAN) and Dior camethe closest to denying Dana the victory, crossing the timers in 61.45 seconds to finish second, just 0.28 seconds behind the winners.

New Zealand’s Sharn Wordley (NZL) partnered with Champion League to another clean round in 61.47 seconds, only 0.02 seconds adrift of Ballard towards bronze honors.

With the top three covered by only three-tenths of a second, the class delivered a spectacular demonstration of precision and speed, highlighting the importance of every turn and stride over Wade’s flowing course.
