Any "scoop" from the Grand Prix

[AprilH]

I have checked the forum all day and I can't believe no one has given results from the Grand Prix. Did anyone out there attend? There were to be some really nice horses making their debuts, any news? My informants haven't gotten back yet some I'm in the dark!!

[Pasogirlz]

Sorry, just getting online today. :oops:

Memorable won AGAIN!
Arco came in second in the Championship (but won his class).

There is a new fino mare on the scene from Col. that won the mares Championship. Caliber can tell us more about her. 8-)


222 showed, it was good to see him in the ring. He didn't win, but I believe he placed.

I didn't get to see a lot of the show, I was very busy behind the Showtime booth and taking some pix of the show.
**the pix are all w/Showtime tonight, but I will have some to post later.
Also PasoMom took some video for us.

There was GREAT turn out by spectators and fans. 8-)

How old is 222 now?

Does he have anything left to prove? Isn't he a champion in several countries?

Who is Memorable (love the name)?

[PasoPerson38]

I THINK 222 is around 14???

Memorable is the stallion that won Nationals this year. You've got to see him, he is pretty awesome 8-)

[AprilH]

Thanks for the reply Lori. I can't think of that Mare's name but I heard she was going to be "nice!" That is great that 222 was shown; it is always nice when the past champions come back in the ring to strut their stuff and make the new guys sweat a little!!

I'm not sure of his age, but he is getting up there. ;-) He was ridden by Jose "El Che" Fernandez who rides Maraquita, Maraquero, and Temblor de Vitral. 8-)

Memorable de la Luisa won his class at Nats. He is ridden by Jaime Suarez and owned by Ricky Ledee the baseball player. He was on the Showtime cover for Nov/Dec.

222 is only 15

[PasoPerson38]

Hey that is old for a fino champ...

[Cindy]

222 is 15 this year and he was third in his class behind Profeta Segundo and Arco Iris with I believe it was Tornado in fourth.
