Mario Deslauriers Edges Past Beezie Madden to Lead the $200,000 FTI Rider Challenge at Winter Equestrian Festival

February 6, 2006

Wellington, FL --- Here are the latest standings for the $200,000 FTI Rider Challenge at the 2006 Winter Equestrian Festival. Standings include Sunday’s $60,000 Wellington Cup, presented by Carlisle. The next two qualifying events are the $25,000 WEF Challenge Cup Round Three on Thursday, February 9th and the $60,000 Kilkenny/ICH Internationale Cup on Sunday, February 12, 2006.

FTI Consulting Inc. and Stadium Jumping, Inc. have collaborated for the $200,000 FTI Rider Challenge, a six week challenge for the top riders in the world. The FTI Rider Challenge is a rider bonus pool for $200,000 in which the riders receive points based on the number of riders in the seven Thursday and seven Sunday Grand Prix events that are all part of WEF in Wellington. During the Thursday Grand Prix events, riders must declare the horse with which they would like to be scored. During the Sunday Grand Prix events, the riders are only allowed to ride one horse, which will accumulate points based on their performance.

First place in a grand prix will be awarded one additional point more than the number of riders in that particular competition. Second place will be awarded two points less than the number of riders, and third place will be awarded three points less than the number of riders. Each placing will subsequently be given a score based on this formula and the order in which they finish the competition.

In the event of a tie for the final results, the rider that has won the most events will take the purse. The rider with the most points accumulated at the end of WEF in Wellington will be awarded $100,000. Second place will be given $50,000, third place will receive $30,000, and $20,000 will be given to fourth place.
