Uniondale, NY – April 28, 2019 – Imagine, for a moment, that you were to scan the world top 150 rankings and pick the rider least likely to be paired with a horse named Lucifer.
Baby faced Martin Fuchs (SUI) might stand out.
Or doe eyed Ben Maher (GBR).
But the obvious choice would be the very rider currently wiping arena floors with Evergate LLC’s speed demon, Egypt’s Nayel Nassar.

At the end of a 23 horse jump-off it was Nayel Nassar (EGY) who walked away with the blue ribbon in the $134,000 Equinimity WEF Challenge Cup Round XII CSI5* aboard Evergate Stables LLC’s Lucifer V.

Exactly a week later, Nassar was the one who was dashing other riders’ dreams in the Great American $1 Million Grand Prix at HITS Ocala (Florida).
Ocala, Fla. – March 24, 2019 – The tenth and final week of the 2019 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit concluded Sunday afternoon with the highly anticipated Great American $1 Million Grand Prix.

Read MoreMarch 25, 2019 – To say Egyptian show jumper Nayel Nassar has had some good results this past month is putting it pretty mildly. On March 17, the 28-year-old rider and his longtime partner, Lordan, finished second behind two-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist Beezie Madden in the AIG $1 Million Grand Prix at HITS Coachella in Thermal, CA.
Then, only a week later, Nayel and Lucifer V won the Great American $1 Million Grand Prix at HITS Ocala in Ocala, FL, making him only the second rider to win the $1 Million classes offered at all three HITS show venues, including HITS Coachella, HITS Ocala, and HITS Saugerties in New York! (Beezie’s win at Coachella the week before made her the first rider to win all three!)
Read MoreOcala, Fla. – March 24, 2019 – After ten weeks of incredible performances at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit, it seemed nearly impossible to save the best for last as riders from all over the world competed on a weekly basis. From the Winter Festival in the Horse Capital of the World, to our two $100,000 Grand Prix sponsored by Ocala Electric Utility and Sullivan GMC, to the debut of the Marshall & Sterling Team Challenge, there was something for everyone who competed at HITS Post Time Farm. But Sunday’s Great American $1 Million Grand Prix defied the odds as history was repeated.
Just one week after seeing his bid come up just short in the AIG $1 Million Grand Prix at the HITS Coachella Desert Circuit, and watching Beezie Madden become the first rider to win a HITS Million in each location, Nayel Nassar quickly joined that exclusive club. With his maiden victory coming at HITS Saugerties in 2013, followed by his winning ride in 2018 at HITS Coachella, Nassar rode LUCIFER V to his milestone victory during the Great American $1 Million Grand Prix.
