ROUND 6 – SYDNEY SUMMER CLASSIC

The final leg of the Australian World Cup Qualifying Series was held at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC) as part of the Sydney Summer Classic Show last weekend

The win went to Amber Fuller in a wonderful double clear performance with the maximum 20 points taking her from near the bottom of the leader board to finish the series in 13th place on 23 points.

However, it was at the top of the leader board where most interest was directed. Going into the final Leg, Olivia Hamood led the way with 70 points. Despite picking up 13 points, as it was her sixth leg of the season with only the best five leg scores counting towards the total, she had to drop a score of 9 gained in Tamworth and ended the Series on a total of 74.

Sam Overton, however, fared much better in the final Leg. He started on 64 points and earned a further 17 as reward for his second placing. From this total of 81 points, he too, as this was also his sixth leg, was forced to drop his lowest score from the calculation which was a score of just 2 points from the Shepparton Leg. His final score of 79 points was enough for him to finish atop the leader board and he has earnt an invitation to attend the World Cup finals, which will be held in Omaha in Nebraska in early April 2023.

Olivia Hamood had to settle with second place in the Series, well clear of the 2018 Series winner Aaron Hadlow who was third with 57 points. Fourth place in the series went to Victorian rider Russell Johnstone who accumulated 40 points having competed in just three legs. Also only competing in three legs, Amanda Madigan made a late charge for the title securing a total of 39 points from the last three legs. Josh Collins rounded out the top six, procuring a total of 37 points after competing in just four legs.

We look forward to this competition returning in 2023, when we hope that at least 10 rounds will be fought out between the nation’s top riders.
