Source: HITS News Release
SAUGERTIES, NY--HITS, Inc. is proud to announce that Pfizer Animal Health, the leader in animal health care, will be the title sponsor of its $1 Million Grand Prix that will take place on Sunday, September 11, 2011. The Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix was a ground-breaking, show-jumping spectacular that took the equestrian world by storm in 2010, and raised the level of Grand Prix competition in the United States.
“Pfizer Animal Health is absolutely thrilled to continue as the sponsor of the $1 Million Grand Prix,” said Kristin Ruff, Director at Pfizer Animal Health. “This year, we received such tremendous feedback from customers, the HITS management and staff, riders, spectators and the industry as a whole. We look forward to what exciting things are to come in 2011.”
The 2011 Pfizer Million will be a culmination of 56 qualifying Grand Prix that will take place from coast to coast at all HITS horse shows. The very first qualifier for 2011 is already in the books thanks to the Culpeper Finals that took place this past September. The HITS winter circuits in Ocala, Florida, Thermal, California, and Tucson, Arizona will hold the next opportunities for high-performance riders to take aim at qualifying for the Pfizer Million. Every Grand Prix offered at HITS in 2011 from January through September 4 will be a qualifying class for the Million.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve Pfizer Animal Health again in 2011,” said Tom Struzzieri, HITS President and CEO. “This partnership is the perfect pairing of leaders in our sport. Pfizer Animal Health is committed to providing the most effective products to keep our horses healthy and at the top of their game for competition, so it’s only fitting that they would help to bring us the most exciting event in show jumping. We value their partnership and trust in HITS. Our team is committed to, once again, go above and beyond to provide them with an exceptional experience and deliver another extraordinary event that they can be proud to call their own.”
As part of its sponsorship, Pfizer Animal Health will be the presenting sponsor of each Grand Prix at HITS with the exception of the $200,000 Lamborghini Grand Prix of the Desert, presented by Lamborghini of Newport Beach, in Thermal, and the $100,000 DeLuca Toyota Tundra Grand Prix, presented by Great American Insurance Group, in Ocala.
Pfizer Animal Health will also be the title sponsor of the $50,000 STRONGID® C 2X CSI-W Grand Prix at Week II of the HITS Desert Circuit, the $50,000 STRONGID® C 2X Grand Prix at Week III of the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit, the $25,000 STRONGID® C 2X Grand Prix at Week VI of the HITS Arizona Winter Circuit, the $40,000 STRONGID® C 2X Grand Prix at Week II of the HITS Culpeper Show Series and the $125,000 STRONGID® C 2X Grand Prix at Week VI of the HITS Saugerties Show Series.
Pfizer’s leading equine health product STRONGID® C 2X (pyrantel tartrate) is designed for daily administration to horses and foals, killing parasites before they can take your animal’s nutrition, energy, and good health. Left unchecked, parasites can impair growth and performance, and may be a cause of colic . When parasite damage is controlled, the benefits are often visible. Many owners report an improvement in appearance and condition within weeks after starting their horse on daily STRONGID C 2X. With STRONGID C 2X, daily deworming makes a difference you can see.

The HITS 2011 winter show season kicks-off with the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit on January 19 and runs through March 20. On the west coast, the HITS Desert Circuit in Thermal, California will take place January 25, through March 13, while the HITS Arizona Winter Circuit will run six consecutive weeks from February 2, through March 13.
Prize lists for all three HITS Winter Circuits have been mailed and are available on-line at HitsShows.com.
