CULPEPER, VA (September 28, 2009) — Rising star Daniel Bluman added another impressive line to his resume when he bested a star-studded field aboard Fatalis Fatum to secure the top-prize in the $100,000 USGPL Invitational Grand Prix at HITS Commonwealth Park in Culpeper, Virginia.
Bluman and his impressive mount have now won three Grand Prix events in a row, including a victory in the $100,000 Class at The Hampton Classic. “I am very proud of my horse,” said Bluman. “He is proud to do his job. When I was horse shopping with Pablo Barrios he told me that this was the horse for me, and he was right!”
Bluman was outlasted 30 pairs in the first round and an additional nine on the jump-off course set by International Course Designer Olaf Petersen Sr. “He is a fantastic young rider on a well-established mount,” said Canadian Olympian Jill Henselwood, who finished second. “They are going to be a force to be reckoned with for a long time.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8306
