Wellington, United States — January 16, 2026— Lillie Keenan (USA) has become a familiar face on the podium at Wellington International the past years and that proved to be the case again in the $32,000 Adequan® WEF Challenge Cup Round 2 CSI 3* on Friday during the 2026 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF). Hosting 12 weeks of international competition, WEF runs at Wellington International through March 29 in Wellington.

Olaf Petersen, Jr. (GER) built a testing track that led to a competitive tie-breaking jump-off. Luis Fernando Larrazabal (VEN) set the pace as the first to return and held on for the win by less than four-tenths of a second over the closest challenger, Lillie Keenan (USA) riding Kick On for Chansonette Farm.

Keenan stopped the clock at 38.57 seconds with the 12-year-old stallion behind Larrazabal’s time of 38.19 seconds. Fellow American Alexandra Worthington (USA) was third riding De L’Oiseliere, owned by Turn A Blind Eye.
