The Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic Presented by Animal Planet is excited to announce that tickets to the event are now available online. By purchasing a ticket online before August 15, 2007, the buyer is automatically entered to win an opportunity to accompany one of the grand prix riders on the course walk to see firsthand what riders and horses face on this challenging show jumping course. Three winners will be selected—one for each ticket category: VIP, grandstand, or general admission ticket holder. The winners and a guest will participate in the action on Sunday prior to the start of the $75,000 Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic.

One of this year's riders, Darren Graziano, who recently joined the Jumper Classic Board of Directors, will explain the course to the winners of the course walk drawing. Graziano has accumulated many ribbons at the Jumper Classic since its inception. In 2005, he won the $5,000 Herb Chambers Mercedes-Benz Speed Stake and was USEF Champion at Level 6 with Allure. He was also USEF champion at Level 7 with Presioso. At the 2006 Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic, he won third place in the $7,500 Mohegan Sun Speed Stake aboard Zorro's Presioso. Allure, with Graziano's skilled riding, was circuit champion in the 1.35 Division at Wellington, FL, this season. Graziano also trains several amateur riders who will be competing at the show. Course walk winners will be able to accompany them and hear their approach to riding the Richard Jeffery-designed course.

Three Levels of Tickets Provide Something for Everyone
The Pol Roger Champagne Luncheon Tickets are the most exciting way to experience the grand prix and speed stake events on Sunday. VIP tickets are $160 per person and include a four-course champagne luncheon, open bar, ringside seating, gift bag, program and VIP parking. A table for 10 can be purchased for $1,550.

Tickets for the new Embraer Executive Jets Grandstand, with seats strategically located around the field, allow optimal viewing of the event in a comfortable, tented setting. Grandstand seats for Saturday are $25 per adult and $20 per child. On Sunday tickets are $35 per adult and $20 per child.

For the show jumping fan who wants to bring their own seat or blanket and picnic on the grounds with their family, the general admission ticket gains admission to a full day of entertainment.

Children under 13 are admitted for free on Saturday only. Sunday General Admission Tickets are $25 per adult and $15 per child over six. Children under six are admitted free on Sunday.

"There is something for everyone at the Jumper Classic," said President Melissa Lovasco.
