Nov 6, 2014

With an enthusiastic crowd in attendance at HITS Desert Horse Park, in Thermal, California, Karl Cook and Basimodo (s. Quasimodo Z) won Saturday’s $75,000 Sunshine Series Grand Prix. Suspense grew amongst spectators as four entered the jump off, but Cook was confident in his KWPN-bred partner, knowing the best is yet to come.

The Grand Prix course yielded four clear rounds out of 28 starters. All four riders in the jump-off were clean, with Cook taking advantage of his last-to-go spot. Cook’s time was 38.53 seconds. Rich Fellers led off the timed round, piloting HTH Crazy for Crown to 40.79 seconds. With a time of 41.21 seconds, Jill Blunt and Udam by Guidam took third while Liubov Kochetova rode to fourth aboard Urus 2 with a time of 41.66 seconds.
