Tracy Bartko Magness And Lebora Win $2,500 Brookledge Open Welcome

OCALA, FL (March 11, 2004)—Tracy Bartko Magness rode her family's Lebora to the blue ribbon in Wednesday's Brookledge Open Welcome at HITS Ocala V. Bartko was the fastest of three double-clears in a seven-horse jump-off. Callan Solem and Warsaw took second in the competition. Heather Tinney and Ironclad finished in third place.

Sixteen horse/rider combinations took to the Grand Prix field to attempt Anthony D'Ambrosio's first round course. Seven riders went clean. For the jump-off, D'Ambrosio shortened the course to six elements and set time allowed at 54 seconds.

Callan Solem and Warsaw were first in the ring, and first to post a clear round in a time of 39.46 seconds. Tracy Bartko Magness and Lebora followed their lead, also leaving all the rails up and shaving over two seconds off their time to tip the timers in the winning time of 37.24 seconds. Heather Tinney and Ironclad were the last pair to post a clear round. Their time of 44.58 seconds gave them third place. The next four riders all posted faults.

Thursday's $25,000 HITS Grand Prix is the next Grand Prix event of the Ocala Winter Circuit. The Grand Finale of the circuit—the $100,000 King Shavings Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, March 14th.
