The first major show of the 2024 calendar year took place last weekend when Boneo Park held its World Wetlands Day Jumping Championship. Commencing on the Friday Australia Day holiday and continuing through to Sunday, the action was spread across three rings to accommodate over 200 riders competing with over 400 horses. There were classes for everyone, with competitions ranging from 0.70m up to the 1.50m-1.55m Grand Prix.
The Browns Sawdust Grand Prix was the feature event of the program, which brought together ten of the best Victorian combinations around. Held over two rounds, there were four clears in the first round and remarkably, each of these four incurred four faults in the second round. Time was the decider and the win with a second round time of 51.71 seconds went to Ally Lamb and her handsome grey stallion Eagle Rock. Settling for second were Phillip Lever and 14-year-old gelding Billionaire NZPH finishing in 53.56 seconds, with Robert Palm and Jaybee Vibrant less than half a second adrift in third.
It was a big day out for Lamb, who had earlier taken out the Antares Future Stars class with a wonderful double clear performance on the exciting prospect Cera Ducati. They scraped home by less than a second from New Zealand’s Jeremy Whale and Kingslea Centrose. Frida Lindgren and Wondaree Colleen were third.
Lindgren Later went on to take out the Horseland Mini Prix, riding the exciting Lomachenko to a comprehensive double clear victory. They were more than five seconds quicker in the jump off from the experienced Sue Coman who was second with Lizetta. After having their first outing at World Cup Qualifier level just last November at Sale, Tilly Fair and Oaks Constantino produced a very fast jump-off time, but a rail meant they had to be content with third place.
The other feature class on the Sunday competition program was the Racing Victoria Off-The-Track Championship. This was won by Sophia Hill and Seattle Park, a combination who are equally adept competing in eventing and jumping. Seattle Park, in an earlier life was a handy galloper, having won three of his 23 starts and in the process accruing more than $100K in prizemoney.
The previous day, we saw both the Junior and Young Rider Championships decided and it was a day to celebrate for Victorian High Performance Squad member Tanner Robinson. In the Junior Championship, Tanner paired with Vidacious win the title, beating Charlee Dobbin and Castalada 11 into second with Jada Burgun and LG Amarillo in third. In the very next class, which was the Young Rider Championship, Tanner was again atop the podium, this time putting in another double clear performance with Cracker. Further proving her class and ability, she was also second in this class with Quevida, providing the second of just two double clears in the class. Completing the podium, with their second third place in a Championship class for the weekend were Tilley Fair and Oaks Constantino, who took a single rail as the only other competitors in what was an exciting three-way jump off.
It was a brilliant weekend of jumping competition which has served to wet our appetite for the upcoming GDP Classic, to be held at the same venue in less than three weeks’ time.
Congratulations to the winners and all the placegetters of every class in the show as listed below:
