Middleburg, VA – June 1, 2012 –<\/strong> In a three horse jump off last night, McLain Ward and Antares F proved to be perfect winning the $100,000 Wells Fargo Grand Prix of Devon and at the same time, the first leg of the brand new $200,000 Taylor Harris Triple Crown Challenge, America’s richest rider bonus.<\/p>\n

\u00a0McLain is now the rider in the spotlight this year, for the first ever Triple Crown Challenge offered by Taylor Harris Insurance Services.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Following this win, McLain and Antares F must also win the Hampton Classic’s $250,000 FTI Grand Prix & FEI World Cup™ Qualifier on Sunday, September 2, 2012 and the third jewel of the Triple Crown Challenge, the $250,000 Alltech Grand Prix at the Alltech National Horse Show on Saturday, November 3, 2012 to receive the $200,000 bonus.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“We are thrilled with McLain’s win last night,” said Michael Taylor of Taylor Harris Insurance Services. “He and Antares F were exceptional, and I believe they are more than capable of winning the Taylor Harris Triple Crown Challenge and we are look forward to the second leg of competition at The Hampton Classic.”<\/p>\n

“This is a very exciting challenge. It’s a great bonus for the riders, a difficult one, but one with a great reward if you can get it done. And, of course, you can’t win the Triple Crown Challenge if you don’t win the first one,” McLain Ward said with a smile, following his hard fought Devon victory.<\/p>\n
