KENT Farrington claimed the $380,000 Fidelity Investments Grand Prix during the first week of five-star competition at the Winter Equestrian Centre in Florida in an exciting jump-off under the lights at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Centre.

Forty riders had qualified for the centrepiece class of the week and 11 of those jumped a clear round to make it through to the jump-off, including Ireland’s Conor Swail who was last to jump in the first round with Rubens LS La Silla.
