The main focus of Day 6 of the Adelaide Royal was
the World Cup showjumping held just after midday. Earlier in the first jumping event a One
Round Contest Anthony Thomas riding Tanami was successful from Vicki Roycroft riding
Shoeshoes while Anthony Thomas also took third aboard Emmaville Intrigue. In the World Cup
Qualifying Round itself the course proved quite testing in the rain affected ground with
no rider able to complete a double clear round. Overall Vicki Roycroft took out the class
winning from New Zealand's Sally Anderson riding Well Wisher as fellow New Zealander Sam
Beatson riding Primo Ventura was third while a third member of the New Zealand team Ann
Wilson on Mitavite Imperial was fourth. The fourth member of the New Zealand team was very
close to completing a faultless round until he lined up for the treble and a siren went
off somewhere outside the arena. This appeared to upset the pair's rhythm as they knocked
a jump lost striding and refused before reattempting the treble clearing the fences
without trouble. 
The Hack classes began
in the late morning with the Hack novice over 15.2 to 16hh where G Crocker & Akhtar
took first place from D Plumb & D Lyons' Thorpe. In the afternoon the Hack 15 to
15.2hh went to J Foster's Cards from C Mitton's Neon with A Hofmann's Freeling Heights
Province third. Lyndale Stables & T Van Heythuysen's Kings was awarded Hack 15.2hh to
16hh from G Crocker's Aktar and Penny Verco's Inferno.
