Numero Uno-son Ammeretto victorious in Suncast® FEI 1.50m Challenge at Tryon Spring 805 june 2015Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) spectators witnessed a
new face in the winner's circle today, as David Beisel (USA) and Ammeretto
(s. Numero Uno) proved victorious in
the $34,000 Suncast® FEI 1.50m Challenge, besting the class of 33 entries.
Beisel and Ammeretto made quick work of the Ana Catalina Harris Cruz-designed
track to take a commanding win, finishing almost four seconds faster than
Christine McCrea (USA) and Wannick WH who placed second in 33.045 seconds.
Beisel and Ammeretto collected their first victory at TIEC and the second
big win of their 2015 season, along with top finishes in Ocala and Kentucky.
"He's had a great year this year. This is the second big class we've won
and also have had several top placings in some pretty big classes," said
Beisel "I think I've been playing it too conservative with him. He's a
little guy and he likes to be able to get a good pace going and today I
decided to let him go. If he's not feeling challenged, he gets a little
bit bored. He absolutely loves the challenge." The class saw 10 pairs move forward to the jump-off, but Beisel and
Ammeretto laid down the fastest two rounds of the class, both in the first
round and jump-off, finishing their first go around the course in 75.11
seconds and their jump-off in 29.465 seconds. The track proved difficult
for a number of riders as several pairs accumulated time faults. Back
