Ben Maher delivered an incredible victory at the Spruce Meadows ‘Masters,’ winning the $5 million CPKC 5* Grand Prix on his gelding, Enjeu de Grisien. He had one rail in the first round, but the top 12 returned for the second round, so he got a second shot. He went on to jump a clear round and win a six-horse jump-off. Mayer and Enjeu jumped fast in clear in 41.40 seconds, just incrementally faster than Lillie Keenan and Fasther.
What makes this victory even more incredible is that Maher suffered a hard fall in the Nations Cup the day before, and almost did not compete. This was Maher’s first Rolex Grand Slam Major victory, which makes him a contender for the Grand Slam of Show Jumping in Geneva.
