Ben Maher’s Winning Ways Continue at the Wellington International CSIO 4*

Wellington, Florida, USA – March 03, 2024 – British Olympic champion Ben Maher (GBR) celebrated a banner week at Wellington International during Week 8 of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF). He capped the final day on Sunday with a victory in the $200,000 JTWG, Inc. Grand Prix CSIO 4* aboard Point Break, owned by Charlotte Rossetter and Pamela Wright.

Five pairs jumped clear over courses designed by USA’s Steve Stephens and Nick Granat, but Maher was the only one to finish double-clear on the day. He and the Swedish Warmblood stallion (Action-Breaker x Balou du Rouet) set the standard as first to jump clear and first to return for the tie-breaking jump-off.

Belgium’s Zoe Conter (BEL) rounded out the podium on La Una, a 13-year-old Oldenburg mare (Chacco-Blue x For Pleasure), owned by Stephex Stables, with the fastest four-fault round over the short course.

Ben Maher (GBR) & Point Break

“This is probably the biggest grand prix he’s won,” said Maher of Point Break, a horse he’s had in his string since the stallion’s six-year-old year. “It wasn’t so long ago he was spooking off every golf cart, but he was always a very talented horse and he’s progressed on very nicely.

Ben Maher (GBR) & Point Break

“His athleticism is what separates him from the other horses,” continued Maher. “The way he can bend his body and move his shoulder allows my job to become much easier. I can ride at the jumps and trust that he can do the job for me.”

The grand prix win for Maher was combined with Thursday’s victory riding Ginger-Blue in the Adequan® WEF Challenge Cup qualifier. The consistent results secured him the Martha Jolicoeur Leading International Rider Award, presented together with Michael and Wendy Smith.

“I’ve got a lot of horses ready to go at this level, so I’m very lucky,” said Maher. “But I’ve tried to use the horses sparingly. I really try to plan which horse is right for each class. To finish on this today has topped off a great week. The strength and depth in my team–both horses and people–it’s a great time to be able to ride right now.”

International competition continues at WEF with CSI5* and 2* competition presented by Bainbridge Companies resuming on March 6.

THE SEAGULL

January 30, 1999

THE SEAGULL is a five act play by Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov, written in 1895 and first produced in 1896. It is generally considered to be the first of his four major plays. THE SEA GULL dramatizes the romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters: the famous middlebrow story writer Boris Trigorin, the ingenue Nina, the fading actress Irina Arkadina, and her son the symbolist playwright Konstantin Tréplev.

Between 1916 and 2008 there were eight productions of the play on Broadway, while there were ten productions off-Broadway between 1954 and 2013. The play has been seen numerous times in London’s West End in various translations. It is also extensively produced in regional and college theatre (see below).

THE SEAGULL (in a new translation by Paul Schmidt) played New Jersey's George Street Playhouse (New Brunswick) from January 20 to February 14, 1999. It was directed by Mark Nelson, with settings by Karen TenEyck, costumes by Michael Krass, and lighting by Kirk Bookman. The play starred Pamela Payton-Wright (Madame Arkadina), James Waterston (Konstantin), David Chandler (Trigorin), Peter Maloney (Sorin), Melinda Hamilton (Nina), Julia Gibson (Masha), Edmond Genest (Dorn), Aliz Elias (Paulina), Todd Weeks (Medvedenko) and Brad Bellamy (Shamrayev). Also in the cast were James Cleveland, David Villalobos and Jo Anne Faucera.

I think that THE SEAGULL may be Chekhov's most accessible play. For a while, I was seeing any production of it I could – I liked it that much. I had first seen the play produced at the now defunct Whole Theatre in Montclair NJ starring Olympia Dukakis. In 1985 I saw Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter Natasha Richardson in a London production. That proved a high water mark for my SEAGULL viewing. As much as I admire Mark Nelson as an actor, this George Street production was pretty forgettable.
