Boyd Martin and Luke 140 Take Jersey Fresh CCI4*-L Victory, Tamie Smith Wins CCI3*-L

The scoreboard shifted yet again as riders in the CCI4-L and CCI3-L tackled a tricky Chris Barnard-designed show jumping track to close out the weekend at Jersey Fresh International. Once the dust settled – and with just three pairs in the CCI4-L turning in double clear rounds – it was Boyd Martin and the Luke 140 Syndicate’s Luke 140 who would become your 2021 Jersey Fresh International winners. They end the weekend on a final score of 32.4. Tamie Smith and Julianne Guariglia’s Solaguayre California take home the CCI3-L crown.

Luke 140 (Landos – Omega VI, by Limbus) first joined Boyd’s string as an 8-year-old, having competed through the former two-star level with Swedish rider Malin Petersen. When the Holsteiner gelding first came to the States, Boyd says they had a few growing pains to endure while they forged a partnership. “I thought it was really weird that every time I went to try the horse in Germany it was on the walker,” Boyd joked earlier this week. “So about the first or second ride in America I realized he probably unloaded him on the dumb American because he was full of fire and energy!”
