IRISH Olympian Shane Sweetnam and Coriaan van Klapscheut Z scored a victory in last Friday's five-star $62,500 Winning Round in Ocala following a 10-horse jump-off.
“I wanted to win, but it was hard to gauge what needed to be done to win,” said Sweetnam of the jump-off course. “There was a turn to the second-to-last jump, which I wasn’t in love with. I sort of took a gamble there to go around and be fast, then do one less stride to the last jump. It worked out well. It was just a little bit of an awkward jump-off, so I wasn’t sure it would be enough. Thankfully it was.”
