The day before (Thursday), he won the Champagne Taittinger Speed Stakes with a different Selle Francais mount - Encore Toi du Linon, an 11-year-old mare. ClipMyHorse.

It's all about the red wall. That's what 13 riders who entered the class had front of mind, but it was last year's home-turf winner, Rachel Proudley and Easy Boy de Laubry Z, who won the honor, dominating the wall and repeating a puissance win in London for the second consecutive year.

Jared Petersen and longtime partner Kawir MS took the win in the 1.40m class during the Ocala Holiday Festival, edging out Ben Merritt and Centino Blue TW. Petersen won the same class last week during the first week of the two-week Ocala Holiday series, though aboard Zechariah. This time, he and Zechariah picked up four faults in the first round and finished 11th, just outside the money.
