Spruce Meadows 'Masters' Tournament:
Ben Asselin Wins One for Canada and the Home Crowd

Young Ben Asselin, whose home base is Spruce Meadows, won his first class in the International Ring at Spruce Meadows this evening and he wasn't fazed by the pouring rain or by the big guns who were also aimed at grabbing the winner's share ($67,650) of the $205,000 Encana Cup.
