The makeover of the main arena seems to have worked wonders. With
nearly constant rain from Monday night to early Wednesday the grassed oval
is showing very little wear and tear compared to previous years. The
test continues as the rain is due to return reportedly on Friday afternoon
as another weather front hits South Australia.
Showjumping A big field of over 20 riders took part in the World Cup Qualifying Round with over a quarter of the field going clear in the first round much to the delight of fans. Although timed to occur at lunch the large amount of riders resulted in the event entertaining the crowd for around two hours with the public given the chance to walk the jumping course before competition began. Rider classes The Lady Rider 21 years and over was taken out by Margot Haynes riding the chestnut thoroughbred Grazier with Caroline Wagner placed second and Rebecca Farran third. Hack Classes Action started early with the Gentleman's Hack over 15hh taken out by Christine Frost's Dashing from Rachel Lawrie's Millionaire with B Thompson's SI Fantastik third.

The Show Hunter over 16hh went to S Penny's SP Havana from C Anderson's Osterley Magical with S Lee's Manderville third.
