Hillary

and
Heather Caristo-Williams,
for their high grand
prix finishes at
Lake Placid
. Both continued their excellent
performances throughout the summer and each claimed an
impressive win. Hillary piloted her 10-year-old Thoroughbred
gelding,

and Heather rode
her 11-year-old former hunter,
Evening Star
, to the win in the
$35,000 Sussex County Grand Prix in New Jersey.
