Aaron Vale and Prescott by Lordanos won the $100,000 Mars Equestrian Grand Prix in Ocala last weekend. The pair secured victory in the 1.50m jumping competition with a time of 37.30 seconds. 

Vale bought the gelding as a four-year-old and has already achieved numerous successes with him. 

At the sound of the tone, Vale and Prescott were off, “I really shaped out to fence one, and got the six done easily in the turn. We caught that nice enough I was able to get eight down to the next oxer, and I think everybody else did nine. Then he actually grabbed a shoe landing, and I wasn’t sure what was happening, but for three or four strides he was scrambling. By the time everything cleared, the next oxer was going to be really long, but I had to win the class, so I took it. Then I was able to be patient to the combination, and after we landed that, I could just let his speed do the rest.” 

Congratulations!
