Cassio Rivetti Hits the Jackpot in $117,000 Spotlight 29 Casino CSI3* Grand Prix
Brazil’s Cassio Rivetti cashed out a winner in the $117,000 Spotlight 29 Casino CSI3* Grand Prix held on Saturday afternoon, February 21, at Desert International Horse Park. He and AGS Casallida topped a 32-horse field to take victory in the Desert Circuit 7 featured class, held on DIHP’s Grass Field.
Rivetti and the 10-year-old Holsteiner mare, owned by HF Farms LLC, were one of eight entries to navigate the first-round, Alan Wade-designed course without fault before taking a gamble on the jump-off.
The USA’s Kaitlin Campbell and Cosm Castlefield Cornelious were the third to return to the grass for the short course and the first to produce a double clear effort, setting the time to beat at 45.22 seconds. Shortly after, Rivetti and AGS Casallida followed that up with another clear effort, this time taking over the top spot in 43.08 seconds.
