Jimmy Torano and Laskano Keep Winning Streak Alive in USHJA 2* International Hunter Derby, Presented by MARS Equestrian

The new year is looking to be a winning one for Wellington’s Jimmy Torano, and Laskano,

owned by Isalou, Inc. The pair christened their Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) season by taking the blue in Friday’s $25,000 USHJA 2* International Hunter Derby, presented by MARS Equestrian™, during opening week, after winning the same class in 2023.

In classic derby format, two panels of judges tallied their scores for the first round, determining which twelve riders – of the original eighteen – would return for the handy track. Torano’s combined first round score of 190 sent him to the top of the leaderboard and in perfect standing for the handy phase.
