Release Date: 2009-07-31 Lexington, KY – July 31, 2009 – The Hagyard Challenge Series is a summer-long series of seven show jumping events at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Four of the seven grand prix events have been held at the Kentucky Horse Shows, and Margie Engle currently sits at the top of the standings.

Engle of Wellington, FL, took home first place with Hidden Creek’s Campella in the $25,000 Hagyard Lexington Classic at the Kentucky Summer Classic. She also finished in third place with Tosca 290. At the Kentucky Spring Classic in May, Engle earned third and twelfth in the $30,000 Hagyard Lexington Classic. Pablo Barrios occupies second place after his win at the Kentucky Summer Horse Show.

The Hagyard Challenge Series is sponsored by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and offers $215,000 in total prize money. The series will award its leading rider with a $50,000 bonus after the final event, held at the Kentucky National Indoor Horse Show in September. The next grand prix event in the series is the $25,000 Hagyard Welcome Stake, which will be held at the Bluegrass Festival Horse Show on August 13.

The $50,000 Leading Rider Bonus is made possible through the gracious efforts of the Holiday Inn Georgetown Hotel, Dean, Dorton, & Ford, Fifth Third Bank, Fort Dodge Animal Health, Hagyard Pharmacy, Kathleen Sullivan, CIMA®, Turf Town Properties, Air 51 and Audi of Lexington.
