USA’s Kent Farrington won the $150,000 FEI World Cup Jumping Toronto on Wednesday night at the CSI4*-W Royal Horse Show, held as part of the 95th Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, ON.

Six riders guided their mounts home clear over the track set by 2016 Rio Olympic course designer Guilherme Jorge of Brazil to advance to the jump-off, but none were faster than Farrington and his Olympic team silver medal partner, Voyeur. Number one in the Longines World Rider Rankings for a reason, Farrington stopped the jump-off timers in 35.51 seconds to claim the win over Ireland’s Shane Sweetnam, who had the final say as the last rider on course, but a slower time of 36.84 seconds left him in second with Main Road.

“Voyeur is spectacular and has been a career horse for me,” said Farrington of the 15-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Tolano van’t Riethof x Goodwill) owned by Amalaya Investments. “I owe a special thank you to the Nusz family. They have been a long-time supporter of my career and bought Voyeur for me with the hopes that he would be a championship horse. He has been every bit of it and more. He took me to my first Olympic Games where we got a team silver medal, was in the jump-off for individual gold, and has won a million grand prix events in between. Tonight, he really showed why he’s special.”

“When I compete at The Royal, it feels like going back in time,” continued Farrington of competing in the 95th edition of the event. “You’re coming into a packed stadium and everyone is wearing tuxedos. It reminds me of something that you would see in a movie. It has always been one of my favorite shows.”
