The final day of competition
was again very hot and began to get humid as the high cloud cover set in
later in the afternoon. 17 horses of the 19 to complete the cross
country phase lined up for the showjumping with Sonja Johnson's
Parkiarrup Illicit Liaison withdrawn and Emily Anker's Keniski
eliminated at the trot up. First rider out was Stuart Tinney with
Panamera and they were going well until an error in course saw the pair
eliminated while Sonja Johnson & Ringwould Jaguar were the first of only
3 to go clear on jumping and time moving from 13th to finish in 10th
position and also take out the AQHA Award for the highest placed Quarter
Horse in any class. Stuart Tinney's clear round jumping plus one
time fault on Ari De Gwaihir moved the pair from 11th to 7th overall
while the next clear round was Megan Jones & Kirby Park Irish Jester who
moved up from 6th to third overall on 83.50 penalty points. Megan
Jones & Kirby Park Allofasudden started well but touched a rail midway
through the course to ease the pressure a little on Stuart Tinney to
finish on second 70.10 and Kirby Park Allofasudden also took out the
Magic Millions Thoroughbred Award for the highest placed studbook
thoroughbred. Kirby Park Allofasudden was bred in South Australia
and offered for sale as a yearling at the Adelaide Magic Millions Sale.
Registered as Red Ruski he didn't race and soon found himself in his
current career path. Stuart Tinney and Vettori started their round
with only 4.3 faults to spare but completed a faultless round to remain
on their overnight score of 65.80 to win. Vettori also took out
the Warmblood award for the highest placed Warmblood in the four star
competition.
The CCI** class saw two
horses eliminated at the morning trot up with 22 left to complete the
showjumping phase. Helen Goddard and Kilburi Mambo were one of
only four clear rounds moving from 20th to overall 14th place on 71.80
while both Tegan Lush on Tempus Fugit and Niki Chapman & Milford Monarch
moved up four spots to finish in 11th and 12th on 65.90 and 68.10
respectively. The only other clear round was Craig Barrett &
Sandhills Brillaire who moved up from 6th to fourth on 52.00.
Shane Rose and Koko Black had one rail down but held third position on
51.60 while Emma Scott & Jenbern Monyana also had one rail down for
50.00 but keeping the pressure on the overall leader of the first two
phases Katja Weimann & Pluto Mio. With only 7.6 penalty
points in hand Katja Weimann & Pluto Mio knocked down two rails - one
late in the course to hand victory to Emma Scott and Jenbern Monyana by
less than half a penalty point.
The CIC** was the first
class decided of the day with two of the 25 that had completed the cross
country withdrawn and again it proved tough with only two clear rounds.
The first was Megan Jones & Westbury Park Irish Grove who remained in
fourth position overall on 70.20 while Claudia Graham & Park Street
Vision had two rails down to drop to third place overall on 69.20.
Andrew Helestine & Warrego Windchester put the pressure on the leaders
with a clear round to finish on 68.40 which proved to be a winning score
as Shane Rose & Statford Novalis knocked down two rails to finish on
68.50 with less than a point covering the top three placings.
