East Coast League Riders Compete for World Cup Qualifying Points at $75,000 Budweiser World Cup of Syracuse David Raposa bested a field comprised of 2004 Olympic athletes and fellow international riders to claim the highest score for the United States at the $75,000 Budweiser World Cup of Syracuse over the weekend. Coming in second place overall, atop Audi’s Fanny de la Tour, (Bay Selle Francais mare; Trias Du Gue—Alicia De La Tour; Shalamar Farm) Raposa jumped double clear rounds to secure his title.

This second place finish means an additional 17 World Cup qualifying points for Raposa, drastically changing his standing in the East Coast League from last week’s 16th place to a tie for 7th.
