Mark Bluman Can’t Be Stopped in the ATCO Grand Prix CSI 2* at Spruce Meadows

Calgary, Canada – June 14, 2026 – The ATCO Grand Prix CSI 2* kicked off the action on the International Ring on Sunday of the ‘National’, presented by Rolex. Athletes competing on the CSI 2* circuit earned their place on the start list of the competition through qualifying competitions held earlier in the week, with only the top 25 horse/rider combinations advancing to Sunday’s feature event.

Designed by FEI course designer Olaf Petersen Jr. (GER), the 485-metre track challenged competitors to leave all fences standing while racing against the clock with a time allowed of 78 seconds. Twelve horse/rider combinations produced fault-free first rounds to advance to the jump-off, setting the stage for an exciting battle for the title.

Once again, Mark Bluman (COL) found his way to the top of the leaderboard aboard Hastella. The pair delivered a brilliant clear round in the jump-off, stopping the clock in 37.34 seconds to secure victory in the ATCO Grand Prix CSI 2*.
