Mia Bagnato wins 1.40M open stake at horse show

LAKE PLACID — Mia Bagnato rode Florida N to the win in the $10,000 1.40m Open Stake, Saturday’s featured class at the 55th annual Lake Placid Horse Shows.

Saturday’s competition in the Richard M. Feldman Grand Prix Field was highlighted by the 1.40m Open Stake, 1.20m Amateur Jumper Classic and the 1.20m Junior Jumper Classic.

Six entries rode clean over the 15-jump first-round course in the 1.40m Open Stake, with two going clean over the seven-jump, jump-off course. In the jump-off, Bagnato claimed the win with the faster of the two clean rides, riding Florida N to a time of 26.808 seconds to earn the win over Matthew Boddy who finished clean in 28.938 seconds on Fantastic de San Isidro.

In the 1.20m Amateur Jumper Classic, Ashley Shaw topped a field of 23 entries with two clean rounds on Adico and the fastest jump-off time of 30.219 seconds. Hudson Warren placed second with a clean jump-off ride and a time of 31.339 seconds on Pembrey Condors Diamond, while third went to Mackenzie Cianciolo who had the only other double clear and a jump-off time of 33.434 seconds on Firestone CZ Z. Taking top honors in the 1.20m Junior Jumper Classic was Jenna Bach on Cajulio.

Adirondack Jumper Classic

Christian Coyle rode Ma Pomme de Tamerville to the win in the $30,000 Adirondack Jumper Classic on Friday.

Coyle was one of five entries to advance to the jump-off by riding clean over the 15-jump first-round course. Brian Moggre was the first to return for the eight-jump tiebreaker, and he set the mark to beat with a clean ride in 35.073 seconds on his longtime partner, MTM Vivre Le Reve. Laura Chapot followed Moggre and moved him out of the lead with a clean ride in 34.528 seconds on the 19-year-old Oldenburg, Chandon Blue.

Coyle, who won the Jumper Classic in 2022 on Coco Mercedes, followed Chapot and rode his 12-year-old mare to what proved to be the winning ride, finishing clean in 33.780 seconds. Chapot’s time held up for second place, with Moggre finishing third.

“My horses all seem to jump great in the big grass field,” Coyle said. “My mare is naturally quick and very competitive, and she’s been in great form these last few weeks. I asked a big question of her at the end, and she responded beautifully. She’s a real trier.”

In the $5,000 Jumper Stake, Caitlin Boyle turned in the only double-clean ride to take the win. Boyle finished the jump-off clear in 37.332 seconds on Prianti Van Het Mikkenhof to beat Mia Bagnato, who placed second with four jump-off faults in 34.023 seconds on Cordiamo, and Hayley Alcock, who was third with four jump-off faults and a time of 41.304 seconds on Joule.

Brian Sweeney rode Zappa to the win in the 1.30m Junior-Amateur Jump-off with his daughter, Corinne Sweeney, taking second on Calgary 5. Corinne also finished fourth on Tara M.
