Trailblazers Back on Top in Greenwich

The Trelawny Trailblazers reminded everyone why they’re the reigning back-to-back MLSJ champions, claiming victory in the $262,000 Trelawny Farm 5* Team Competition at the Dixon Oval in Greenwich.

A Strong Lineup

Their roster combined consistency and firepower: Conor Swail (IRL) with Casturano, Nayel Nassar (EGY) aboard speed specialist Ivory TCS, and the returning Natalie Dean (USA) on Oasis van de Bucxtale. Swail set the tone in the first round with the team’s only clear, keeping their gold-medal hopes alive.

Jump-Off Showdown

In round two, Nassar matched the effort with another flawless ride, pushing the Trailblazers into a gold-medal jump-off. It came down to Dean versus Vanessa Hood (ISR) on FBW Graphik. Hood’s rail and slower time left the door open, and Dean delivered, securing the Trailblazers’ first team win of the season.

Podium Finishers

Maccabi United, with Ilan Bluman (COL) on Phelina de Septon and Mark Bluman (COL) aboard Acajou, took silver while maintaining their lead in the overall standings. The fight for bronze came down to Helios versus Team KPF, with Rene Dittmer (GER) on Corsica X edging out Rodrigo Pessoa (BRA) aboard Dhalida in the jump-off.
