Lake Placid, NY - June 26, 2009 - Christine McCrea of East Windsor, CT rode Romantovich Take One to victory in the $30,000 Intercat Jumper Classic CSI 2* Friday at the 40th Annual Lake Placid Horse Show. McCrea, winner of the horse show's $75,000 Hermes Grand Prix in 2007, was one of six entries to qualify for a tiebreaking jump-off by riding without penalty over the original 16-jump course designed by Steve Stephens, course designer for last year's Hong Kong Olympic Games. She was then the first to return for the eight-jump tiebreaker and she set the mark to beat with a second fault-free ride and a time of 34.51 seconds. None of the remaining entries could catch her with the closest being Danielle Torano of Ft. Lauderdale, FL who finished the jump-off fault-free in 35.25 seconds on Vancouver D'Auvrey. Candice King of Wellington, FL had the only other clean ride in the jump-off and her time of 38.49 seconds on Skara Glen's Rebozo placed her third in the final tune-up for Sunday's $75,000 RV Sales of Broward Grandprix of Lake Placid CSI 2* for the Whitney Perpetual Challenge Trophy. Also on Friday, Michelle Spadone rode R Mable KZ to victory in the Deeridge Farms Amateur-Owner Jumper Class and Katie Dinan rode Mobile 4 to the win in the Sam Edelman Shoes Junior Jumper Class.
