Mar 14, 2013

Week ten of the 2013 FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival (FTI WEF), sponsored by Horseware Ireland, featured the $33,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45 speed class on Wednesday with a win for Germany's Johannes Ehning and Cayenne 162. Earning points on the Longines FEI world ranking list, the pair won over Alise Oken (USA) riding Kaid Du Ry and Beezie Madden (USA) aboard Mademoiselle, with a lightning fast round.

Olaf Petersen set the speed track for 39 entries. The challenging course saw nine clear rounds. Third in the order, Alise Oken was the first rider to clear the course aboard Marcus Quintus and held the lead through a large part of the class with her time of 61.51 seconds. Nineteen rounds later, Beezie Madden and Mademoiselle stole the lead in 59.35 seconds. Two rounds after that, Oken returned aboard her second mount, Kaid Du Ry, to reclaim her top spot with an even faster 58.92 seconds. They would both be beat a few rounds later when Johannes Ehning and Cayenne 162 breezed through the timers in 58.87 seconds for the win.
Oken and Kaid Du Ry eventually finished second with Madden and Mademoiselle third. Japan's Eiken Sato and Stephex Stables' Viva jumped into the fourth position in 60.12 seconds, and Oken's time with Markus Quintus placed fifth.

Ehning was also happy to get the win in the final class on Wednesday as he finished second in both of the classes held earlier in the day. In the 1.40m jump-off, Sarah Segal and Tilghman and Cian O'Connor and Zealous were both winners in a split class. Ehning and Appearance 2 and Todd Minikus aboard Udonnay Z were each second. In the 1.45m jump-off, Alexandra Paillot guided Brooklyn Blues to the win. Ehning and Appearance 2 were once again second.
