Middleburg, VA - June 1, 2012 - In a three horse jump off last night, McLain
Ward and Antares F proved to be perfect winning the $100,000 Wells Fargo
Grand Prix of Devon and at the same time, the first leg of the brand new
$200,000 Taylor Harris Triple Crown Challenge, America's richest rider
bonus.
McLain is now the rider in the spotlight this year, for the first ever
Triple Crown Challenge offered by Taylor Harris Insurance Services.
Following this win, McLain and Antares F must also win the Hampton Classic's
$250,000 FTI Grand Prix & FEI World Cup Qualifier on Sunday, September 2,
2012 and the third jewel of the Triple Crown Challenge, the $250,000 Alltech
Grand Prix at the Alltech National Horse Show on Saturday, November 3, 2012
to receive the $200,000 bonus.
"We are thrilled with McLain's win last night," said Michael Taylor of
Taylor Harris Insurance Services. "He and Antares F were exceptional, and I
believe they are more than capable of winning the Taylor Harris Triple Crown
Challenge and we are look forward to the second leg of competition at The
Hampton Classic."
"This is a very exciting challenge. It's a great bonus for the riders, a
difficult one, but one with a great reward if you can get it done. And, of
course, you can't win the Triple Crown Challenge if you don't win the first
one," McLain Ward said with a smile, following his hard fought Devon
victory.
