Dear Lori. -
This year’s Wachovia Securities American Gold Cup was a terrific success and I’d like to thank you for your support. Without our valued partners we could never put on a show of this caliber—the donkeys were a big hit! In just two years, since moving the Gold Cup home to Cleveland, we have established a strong base of support here in Northeast Ohio. I look forward to continuing to build and improve upon what we have started with your ongoing support.
Our growth over the prior year was particularly evident when you walked through the stable area— the number of riders competing this year doubled over the prior year! We were proud to host the nation’s most talented equestrians and we introduced many newcomers to Northeast Ohio and the wonderful Cleveland Metroparks Polo Field show grounds with all of its improvements.
If you missed the $100,000 Wachovia Securities American Gold Cup finale on Sunday, Canadian Olympic veteran Mario Deslauriers and Paradigm were the victors in the only clear round and Anne Kursinski and Lorenzo were second with one time fault. It was a great World Cup qualifying event and video of the winning round will be on our web site, www.AmericanGoldCup.net, as well as event updates.
I am proud that through the American Gold Cup efforts we could also promote a number of local organizations and charities, and assist their goals. Mark your calendars now for next year— September 17 to 21, 2008!
Sincerely,
Michael Morrissey
