Ocala, Florida, USA – February 25, 2024 – The final day of competition for Week Six of the Hits Ocala Winter Circuit welcomed a wide array of classic competitors in both the hunter and jumper arenas. Having been on a hot streak throughout the entirety of the 2024 circuit, young rider Madison Kondracki (USA) claimed another top finish in today’s headlining event – the $24,500 Horseflight Jumper Classic.
Kondracki was one of the youngest in the field of 34 competitors, but has been steadily racking up wins weekly and is already well in the lead for the series-long $15,000 STX Open Speed Series rankings. She and the nine-year-old Royal Dutch Sport Horse – Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) mare (Bacardi II VDL), Karishma K, were one of six pairings that rode both rounds without fault but they were easily the fastest in a time of 34.97 seconds.
David Raposa (USA) cleared the timers in 36.06 seconds on Redfield Farm’s eight-year-old Royal Dutch Sport Horse – Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) gelding (Kannan), Lingote De Oro RFB
Tiffany Hammack (USA) produced the third-fastest time, just off the pace in 36.82 seconds, aboard Foxwood Farm’s 11-year-old Zangersheide mare (Glascow W VH Merelsnest), Ghana FS Z.
“Today’s course was fun even though it wasn’t set for my horse exactly,” Kondracki explained. “She put in a lot of effort today and this has really been a good week for her. We did the Alliant Cup and the STX speed class and I think both of those set her up really well.
“The speed classes had her underneath herself, then we took yesterday off, and today we just put everything together,” she continued. “She’s a specific ride and takes a little more leg at the base, but she gets it done and she got it done today.”
