Ward edges out spectacular Springsteen in Washington

Jessica Springsteen was the star of the international show jumping division of the Washington International Horse Show, but McLain Ward won the President’s Cup grand prix–for the fourth time.
The $125,000 President’s Cup grand prix is the highlight at thew Washington event and Springsteen had already taken home plenty of top honours. She made the jump-off with Davendy S, but was faced with Beezie Madden with her World Cup finals winner, Simon; Reed Kessler with her Olympic mount, Cylana, and McLain with HH Carlos Z.
Springsteen finished in a time of 34.30 seconds. Cylana, next to go, hit a rail and a slower time, but McLain had a clean round in 33.52 seconds leaving Madden to attempt to stop the four in a row. However, a time of 33.48 seconds was only good enough for third spot. http://www.wihs.org
