Crossing the finish line at 7:01 p.m. PDT, Jeremy Reynolds of San Jose, Calif., won the Oct. 8 2011 Tevis Cup Ride on the 7-year-old bay Arabian gelding, Riverwatch. It was the third win for Reynolds, who clocked an unofficial time of 100 miles in 10 hours, 31 minutes, not including two mandatory, one-hour holds.
