Anthony Thomas and SL Donato – 2020 SA State Champions

Held at the beautiful Wirrina Cove, the same location that Adelaide Hills Showjumping Club had their inaugural show a few weeks ago. The Thomas Foods International South Australian State Titles were a fantastic event held under beautiful blue Adelaide skies.
In particular, it was a great weekend for Anthony Thomas and SL Donato (previously ridden by Clint Beresford), winning both the John Bruggerman Grand Prix on Saturday and the SA Senior State Championship (ahead of last year’s Champions Kristy Bruhn and Jack) yesterday and coming second in the 1.30m on Friday behind Susie Verco and Captivate.
Conor Reed and Leopoldo MVNZ took out the Young Rider Championship and Regan O’Brien and Billara Woodbine the Junior Title (also taking out the Junior GP on Saturday).
The Senior State Speed Championship was taken out by Ashleigh Westcott with Con Brio and the Junior Speed Championships by Alexandra Morris and Starlight Dazzle Razzle.
The Thoroughbred Sports Horse Association (TSHA) sponsored a number of classes at these championships which were once again very popular. The best performed Thoroughbred in Arena 2 – Racing SA was won by Sophie Vears and MV King.
We congratulate the organisers for getting this event up and running after it was cancelled earlier in the year as a result of COVID.
