Las Vegas Events, Inc.,
producer of the 2015
FEI Jumping
and Dressage World Cup Finals
, is establishing the
John Quirk
Cup
to be presented to the winner of the $75,000 Grand Prix of
Las Vegas at the event, next April 15-19. The John Quirk Cup
is being established in memory of
John Quirk
, a west coast
show jumping horse owner, breeder and magazine publisher
who played a leading role in bringing the FEI World Cup Jumping
Final to Las Vegas in 2000. John believed that hosting the World
Cup Final in the “Entertainment Capital of the World” would help
promote the equestrian sport
like never before and that first
Final in Las Vegas was such an
overwhelming success that the
FEI returned it there in 2003,
2005, 2007 and 2009, adding
the dressage Final in 2005 for
unprecedented dual Finals that
is now a regular occurrence in
the sport.
