Martinez makes career highlight in Puebla
Jose Alberto Martinez Vazquez (MEX) notched the biggest victory of his career Saturday at the beautiful Quintas Ecuestres (MEX) venue, riding his longtime partner Quinley to the top of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Puebla.
The pair prevailed in a three-horse jump-off, in which no one could replicate their clear efforts from the first round. Martinez and Quinley had the final fence down but were still fast enough to win, crossing the timers of Marina Azevedo’s short course in 48.44 seconds. Simon Salame Farca (MEX) and So Nice finished second, with Misti Cassar (USA) and Mylord Cornet third.
Daniel Bluman (ISR) and Daniel Coyle (IRL) each have 43 points, but Bluman leads the NAL standings thanks to his win in Toronto (CAN). Shane Sweetnam (IRL) sits third with 41 points.
The 2023-2024 North American League season concludes in Ocala (USA) on 17 March 2024.
