Ian Millar Pulls One-Two Punch to Win $118,000 Grand Prix


Ottawa, Ontario – Nine- time Olympian Ian Millar proved he still has what it takes, taking first and sec- ond place in the $118,000 Angelstone Productions Grand Prix, Presented by Brookstreet, on Saturday night at the CSI2* National Capital Show Jumping Tournament in Ottawa, ON.


The second richest Grand Prix event in eastern Canada, the $118,000 Angelstone Productions Grand Prix, Presented by Brookstreet, followed by a live performance by Blue Rodeo, capped off the two- week international show jumping tournament in front of 8,566 spectators. A total of 27 chal- lengers lined up to tackle the course set by Catsy Cruz. The international course designer from Mon- terrey, Mexico, was hoping for five clear rounds, and


that is exactly what she got. Millar qualified two mounts for the jump-off, Star Power and Dryden, and was joined by 21-year-old David Arcand, American Lisa Deslauriers, and the winner of Thursday’s $32,000 Brookstreet/Com- petitiveJumpers.com Open Welcome, Angela Covert- Lawrence.


Arcand of Montreal, QC, was the first rider back for the jump-off with Santos Utopia, but two rails down in a time of 32.42 seconds would leave him in fifth place. Millar went for a slow and steady clear round with the nine-year-old Star Power, leaving all the rails in place and stopping the clock at 35.18 seconds to take over the lead.


Lisa Deslauriers of New York, NY, had managed to jump clear in the first round, despite almost parting ways with her mount, Diablo, and completing the course with only one stirrup. In the jump-off, the pair also jumped clear, but was just off Millar’s pace, clocking in at 35.67 seconds.


Millar was up again, this time with Susan Grange’s Dryden, another nine-year-old. Knowing he already held the lead, the 63-year-old show jumping veteran took more

Equi-Challenge Riders Change Hats In A Rollicking Good Time


To Raise Funds For OVC Equine Health Facility


HALTON HILLS – Sea- soned international rider and coach Peter Gray (Orangeville, ON) is equal- ly at home on the back of a galloping event horse or an elegantly moving dressage horse.


But on August 26, he found himself in unfamiliar territory as he attempted to whack a ball from atop a spirited polo pony and careened around barrels on a blistering quarter horse at the second annual Equi- Challenge. The sold-out event, held at Halton Place, was in the name of good fun and a good cause. Gray and other eques- trian leaders and legends “changed hats” to thrill the crowd at a fundraiser to benefit the Ontario Veteri- nary College’s new Equine
