Rain couldn’t stop the competition from continuing or the fans from cheering on their favorite duos at this thrilling Saturday Night Lights, where McLain and “Annie” stopped the jump-off timers at an impressive 39.85 seconds. Capt. Brian Cournane of Ireland rode Penelope Cruz to second place after a 44.19-second jump-off, while Wellington’s own Alex Granato and Carlchen W claimed third after racing to the finish line in 38.87 seconds with four faults.

“It’s been a pretty incredible few weeks. My team is doing an amazing job,” said Ward, who also won the Fidelity Investments® Grand Prix CSI5* during WEF five riding Noche de Ronda. “I’m lucky to have phenomenal horses and owners, to be able to have multiple horses that can win at this level. If we’re really honest with ourselves, sometimes you can do nothing right, and sometimes you can do nothing wrong. We’re in one of those streaks, and we’re going to enjoy it and try to keep doing our best.”
