Gregory Wathelet Gets Another Win in $25,000 Marshall & Sterling 1.45m Open Classic
Gregory Wathelet has now topped the Sunday 1.40m two weeks in a row on two promising young horses. On Sunday of Desert Circuit 4, presented by Whittier Trust, Wathelet took the win in the $25,000 Marshall & Sterling 1.40m Open Classic aboard Kristalic, an entry owned by Morning Star Sporthorses.
The class is always competitive, and this week was no exception. Thirteen pairs jumped clear over round one to return for a jump-off, several of them past winners of this very class, and Wathelet had the advantage of going last. He did just what he had to, clocking in about three-tenths of a second faster than second-place finisher Amanda Gomez with Charly-Ann, owned by Rising Star Equestrian. Bosco de Lerzy, owned by Inside Out Investments LLC, and Erin Pritzker took third place.
