American Jonathan McCrea stepped on top of the podium on Sunday, winning the final Grand Prix at the 2018 International Bromont with Aristoteles V.

McCrea is unbeatable

Canadian course designer Michel Vaillancourt’s course comprised 13 obstacles for 16 efforts, including a triple combination coming out of a broken line. Therefore, 11 horse-rider pairs qualified for the jump-off round.

With the fastest time in the first round, Christine McCrea and Dali de Vy were first out in the jump-off, but a pole down at the seventh obstacle kept the door open for the pairs still to come, allowing them to take the lead. The next two pairs, Nicholas Dello Joio and Columbcille de Reve as well as Mario Deslauriers and Jamaica van Paemel, executed a clear jump-off round, taking the first two places in the standings at that point.
