Thoroughbred Classic Show Draws Record Participants

The 10th installment of the Thoroughbred Classic Horse Show (TCHS), sponsored by the Siegel CARMA Foundation was held at Galway Downs in California this past weekend, drawing a record 87 Thoroughbreds who competed in a variety of disciplines, including hunters, jumpers, dressage and cross country.

“I'm thrilled with the outpouring of support we received for this show especially since we drew competitors from out of state to showcase their Thoroughbreds with us,” CARMA executive director Mandella said. “Combined with the traditional local support I am so happy we were able to host our largest show to date. The success from this weekend sets us up perfectly for our next event, the traditional holiday classic at the end of the year at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Hopefully by then we'll be able to attract at least 100 Thoroughbreds.”

Amanda Gomez and her horse Snapchat won this year's $1,500 Jumper Stakes and Kiri Baldi won the $1,500 Hunter Derby aboard her horse Terascon Diligence. Melissa Thorson and her OTTB Montana Soul won the $1,000 Event Challenge, while the $1,000 prize for the Dressage Challenge went to Ashlin Gayken and her horse Leonard.

The next TCHS show is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 9 and 10 at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank, CA.
