WELLINGTON, Fla., March 2--

Chelsea Moss and Rodin started their Sunday in the blue by winning the ASPCA Maclay Section B at the CN Winter Equestrian Festival presented by Zimmerman Advertising at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.

Moss, 17, of Medford, N.J. and the eight-year-old chestnut gelding, Rodin, finished first after one round over fences and an under saddle in the Maclay. Moss rides with trainer Stacia Madden from Colts Neck, N.J. and leases Rodin from owner, Golden Goose Investors, LLC of California. The pair have been competing together since October and have placed in every class.

"I felt I was on today, my course was flowing and consistent," Chelsea said. "He is a sweet and amazing horse to ride. He never wants to let you down. Every day he shows he wants to win."
