ROUND 3 – CABOOLTURE (26 JUNE)
The third leg of the 2021 Australian World Cup Series was held at Caboolture last Saturday with the very popular win going to Maddison Stephen and Yalambi’s Grazi. The 2018 Series Winning combination of Aaron Hadlow and Vahlinvader were the only other combination to go double clear and finished in second. For a full report on the class click HERE.
After three legs, we now have a tie in first place and a crowd of riders grouped near each other at the top of the leaderboard. The previous leader, Tom McDermott, once again nominated Alpha Activity as his World Cup horse, but they finished in 20th place, picking up just the solitary point to advance to 36. First leg winner Amber Fuller faired little better, finishing in 17th to pick up four points to also advance to 36.
James Arkins, who was third on 21 points going into this leg, finished an unlucky fourth, but this was enough to significantly bridge the gap to the leaders with an additional 13 points taking him to a total of 34. Like Arkins, a productive leg by Billy Raymont who finished 3rd, took him from 17th place to currently lie 4th, just three points adrift of Arkins, while the consistent Stephen Dingwall has picked up points in all three outings to round out the top 5 on a total of 26 points.
Following these five and in very good positions are Olivia Hamood on 25 points and Aaron Hadlow on 24 points, who have both only competed at two legs so far this season. Maddison Stephen’s maximum score of 20 from just the one leg, sees her sit well within striking distance of the leaders in tenth place.
The next opportunity for points will take place in Leg 4 of the series, which is scheduled for the Waratah World Cup weekend at SIEC on Saturday 28 August.
