Clark and Superstitious lead the pack at the Legacy Cup on Thursday
By Jamie Krauss

Caroline Clark and Superstitious took the win in today's three-foot non-professional, with an impressive score of 86 from judging team one (consisting of Brian Lenehan and Liza Denehy), an 83 from team number two (Russell Frey and George Wallace), an 86 from team three (Scott WIlliamson and John Roper), and 86 from team four (Jeff Wirthman and Patrick Rodes). Her overall score of 341 was enough to assure her of the victory by a full ten points.

Stillwater and Betty Oare completed a beautifully smooth round to earn the second place honors.

"He's never shown indoors before, but it didn't seem to bother him one bit," said Oare. "The ring is so big and the jumps so inviting, it just asks the horses to perform well."

The remainder of the top positions went to Wendy Berol Gifford on Nightshade in third, Mandy McCutheon in fourth on Abatar, Mrs. Gordon Wheeler in fifth on Halloween, and Rachel Geiger in the sixth position on Dream Date.

"These classes seem to be running very smoothly, and the horses are all going great," commented professional, Peter Pletcher. "This horse show has been well-run, and it is a really good idea to have an event like this," he added. "It's supposed to be a very special event, and it really feels like one-that's what makes it so special."

The afternoon session saw the 3'6" non-professionals competing, and Better 'N Better with Courtney Baca took the top honors. Elizabeth Coughlin with Just One Night earned the second place award.

"I like this horse show because it's fun and exciting," she said. "I like the format, and getting to show in front of this panel of judges is really neat!"

As We Speak with Kara Hoffstetter (owned by Carol Stillman) came in third, with Kindred Spirit and Mimi Edwards in fourth.

"This is an excellent facility to be able to show in. Our horses are going great, and the way the judges are set up in teams is a great format."
