The Gambler’s Choice is one of the exciting jumper classes because the riders get to “take their own line.” Each jump cleared is worth a particular number of points and the goal is to accumulate as many pints as possible within the designated time frame. It was a favorite class of the late Harold Walker, former GCHS President and exhibitor, and is now sponsored by his family. The bronze trophy was created by artist Andrea Lugar especially for this class.
The first to accumulate over 1,000 points was Brittany Kasprack on Gaesbekers Gabbertje, piling up 1050 points. She kept her lead until Anna Marie Mays entered the arena. She and Balou Bailando racked up 1300 points to put Brittany in second place. And those remained the final placings.
