Riding his Olympic mount Chrevi’s Capital, Marcus took victory in the World Cup Qualifying Grand Prix and swept both the Grand Prix for Special and Grand Prix Special riding Don Kontes.

In Friday night’s World Cup Qualifying Grand Prix, Marcus topped a starting field of 11 entries to win with a career-best score of 71.213%.  Victory was especially sweet for Marcus, who suffered an unfortunate elimination at the 2012 London Olympics when Chrevi’s Capital spooked during a heavy downpour and was unable to continue the test.
