Aug 30, 2012

Shane Sweetnam rode to the top of the standings for the 2012 Hagyard Challenge Series. Sweetnam's first place finish knocked Kaitlin Campbell into the second place position, with Reed Kessler holding strong in the third place position.

On Friday Sweetnam piloted Solerina to the first place finish in the $10,000 Hagyard Welcome Stake, and also picked up the first place award with his other mount Amaretto D'Arco during the $25,000 Hagyard Lexington Classic at the Bluegrass Festival. After Friday night's win, Sweetnam now holds the lead with 830 points. Campbell holds the second place position with 590 points. Kessler has fallen into the third place position, her Kentucky Spring Series rankings holding resilient for three of the Hagyard Lexington Grand Prix events. Beezie Madden and Ashlee Bond are currently tied for the fourth place spot in the rankings, each with 290 points.
