Wellington, FL – March 24, 2011 – Last night, the world famous Player’s Club hosted the grand finale of Dressage under the Stars, where at the end of the evening, Jim “Batman” Kofford was crowned the series champion.  During the evening, the winners from the previous weeks returned to compete for the 2011 championship including Chris Von Martels, Jim Kofford, Marcia Kulak, Dottie Morkis, and Emily Kannenstine. Judges for this week included Todd Flettrich, Ashley Holzer and Kelly Klein and the event was sponsored by Carol Cohen’s Two Swans Farm, the Dutta Corp. and Phelps Media Group.

Jim Kofford rode his Grand Prix mount, Rhett, as “Batman,” to the $2,500 cash top prize after completing two thrilling performances.  This is third year of the Wednesday night weekly event, held at the Players Club during the Palm Beach winter circuit.

“I am so excited to win,” Kofford stated after his performance still wearing his Batman mask.  “This is a great horse who loved this rowdy crowd and really got into it.  The second round was actually really fun to do and this whole event is great.  This horse is 11 years old and I think it was great practice for him, in a fun and relaxing environment.  Plus, under the lights adds another element for the horses and provided a great atmosphere to compete.”
