Rebecca Reyes and Let's Dance Win $3,500 Junior/Amateur-Owner Young Rider Qualifying Class

OCALA, Florida — Rebecca Reyes and her Let's Dance claimed the blue ribbon as the only pair to go double-clear in the $3,500 Junior/Amateur-Owner Young Rider Qualifying Class at HITS Desert Circuit VIII on Friday, March 13, 2015.

Reyes and her horse completed the jump-off in 51.401 seconds. Two others contenders made the jump-off. Eve Jobs and her Sandor De La Pomme finished the shortened coure faster - in 46.729 seconds - but a downed rail on the third jump put her in second place with four faults. Rounding out third was Alexandra Ozymy, on NKH Barbosa, who made it to the jump-off but did not complete the second round.

In fourth, Eduardo Sanchez Navarro Rivera Torres, who would go on to win the next day's $25,000 Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper High Classic, presented by Vetera® XP Vaccines, had no downed rails but three time faults kept him from the second round. For her victory, Reyes takes home a prize of $1,050.
