Buddy Brown from Wellington, Florida, designed the 13-jump Grand Prix course that included a double combination at Fence. No. 5, a triple at Fence No. 10, and another double at Fence No. 12. Time Allowed was 98 seconds. The Order of Go listed top Grand Prix riders from 13 states including Olympic medallists Leslie Burr Howard, Peter Leone, and Joe Fargis. Three riders from the field of 31 jumped clear in Round One and moved on to the Jump-Off.
The nine-element Jump-Off course had time allowed at 48 seconds. First on course was Lynne Little from Frederick, Maryland, who placed second in Friday`s $25,000 Wild Card Grand Prix-which won her a slot in today`s competition. Riding Ransom, Little had a rail down on the sixth jump for four faults plus three time faults for her 50.592-second trip to finish in third place. Little took home $13,000 for owner Alex Carl. Next to go was Joe Fargis of Southampton, New York, riding Edgar for Mary B. Schwab and Oeji Farms LLC. Fargis lowered the fifth element for four faults and at 48.678, he also added a time fault to place second, earning $22,000. Last to go was King and John Em. They had the second fence down for four faults but were fast on course in 45.164 for the win.
Though she was the last rider in Round One, King said she didn`t watch the riders before her go. "When there`s a lot of entries, I try to walk the course for what the horse that I`m riding is typically going to do or not do, depending on his strengths and weaknesses," King explained. "Then I try to watch the first few horses just so I can see how the course is riding. Then I try not to watch because I feel that the more you watch, the more you get influenced and you might change your first instincts." King said that the key to her strategy in Round One was to stay within the Time Allowed. "I noticed this morning that Buddy had very tight Time Allowed," she said, referring to the Jumper High and Low Invitational Finals that were held prior to the Grand Prix. "So when I walked the course I had that in my mind. There were a couple of places where I tried to save a little time." She added that since John Em is a very fast horse, part of her strategy included finding places where she could give him time to think about the jump and not about turning. "The main thing for him is just to be able to stay straight. I had to think about the Time Allowed and let him do the jumps."
In the Jump-Off, King said she didn`t get to see the two riders before her go, but she knew both of them had a rail down. "I didn`t know how fast they were so when I went in I knew I needed to be quick and clean because I knew that if I went and had a rail somewhere I was going to have to step it up to still be able to win. I had the second jump down which was really early. I ended up going around the jump that they had gone inside of. At that point I thought that I was already slow so I really tried to let it all out and hope that he was on his job. He was and it worked out great for me."
John Em is a 13-year old Dutch stallion by Jasper. King has been riding him for about eighteen months. "I got to do about three or four shows in 1999 until I was six months pregnant and we had to stop showing. He had been quite good and my owner was very kind and waited for me to get back after I had my daughter." This is her first year qualifying for the Cosequin USGPL Finals. She and John Em won the $50,000 Cosequin Grand Prix at HITS Catskills III and at the Hampton Classic they placed second, which put her right at the top of the list of qualifiers for the Finals. "My horse is very special. He`s got a super mind and he`s very kind," said King. "My daughter can sit on him in the stall. He`s a super, super kind animal. We have a very special relationship."
