Australian Jumping Championships conclude with Major Finals

Australian Jumping

Yesterday saw action in the fifth and final day of the Pryde’s EasiFeeds Australian Jumping Championships at the beautiful Boneo Park Equestrian Centre. There was action across four arenas, including the finals of the Australian Junior, Young Rider and Senior Championship. The jumping was held in perfect conditions in front of a large and appreciative crowd. Let’s review hoa all th action unfolded.

The first class on the Pryde’s Main Arena was the Final of the Horseland Australian Junior Championship won by Claire Zylstra and Harvey B. For our full story on this final click HERE.

The next class on this arena was the final of the Racing Hearts Australian Young Rider Championship, won by Clemency Hughes and Diamond B Corvina. For our full story on this final click HERE.

The Pryde’s EasiFeed Australian Senior Championship wrapped up the day’s proceedings and was won by Tom McDermott and Cachassini II. For our full story on this final click HERE.

There was plenty of action on Flemings Nurseries Arena 2 as well. The first class held there yesterday was the final of the JPR Equestrian Opal Series. After each of the three preliminary rounds, combinations were ranked, based on their finishing positions and the top 50% of entrants qualified for today’s final. Going into the Final, Zara Adnams and Dingmac Disco King were atop the leaderboard, having won all three preliminary classes, so it was no surprise when they produced a fantastic double clear performance, including a scintillating jump-off round to win the championship. Their jump-off time of 30.68 seconds was the fastest of 22 double clear performances in what was a very high-quality final. Second place went to Abbey Coates and Wafalu Nulla who took 31.18 seconds to complete the jump-off course, just ahead of Olivia Curtain and Xcella in third, finishing in 31.24 seconds.

Wrapping up the action on Fleming Nurseries Arena 2 was the Vranken-Pommery Ruby Series. Combinations qualified for this final via their performances in a pair of qualifying classes run earlier in the week. Going into the final, two combinations, namely Rebecca Jenkins and Festa D and Carly Overton and Pabello were equal leaders, however neither of these combinations was able to convert that into a win today. The winning combination in the final was Sally Simmonds and Chio MS who had the fastest double clear performance with a jump-off time of 40.99 seconds. Second place went to Rebecca Jenkins and Festa D who stopped the clock in the jump-off at 42.08 seconds. The fastest of the other three double clears were George Johnson and Wallaroo Carina, finishing in 46.18 seconds and awarded third place.

There was just one class held yesterday on the main grass arena; the final of the Racing Victoria Off The Track Championship. The top 20 combinations after two qualifying rounds were invited into the final which saw a 6-way jump-off required to determine the winner. After the jump-off there were still two combinations on zero, so it came down to time. The winners of the class with a jump-off time of 38.82 seconds were Katie Clark and Katelle Grand, which followed on from their win in the second qualifying class on Saturday. Just as they were second in that class, Sam McCrae and Jamieson had to be content with second place again, finishing double clear in 39.41 seconds. Jamie Coman and Trespasser took a single rail in the jump-off to finish in third place.

The first final decided on Tulara Warmbloods Arena 3 was the final of the Chase Equestrian Ivory Series. After each of the two preliminary rounds, combinations were ranked, based on their finishing positions and the top 50% of entrants qualified for the final.

Going into the class, Sunday Borrack and Tane Mahuta were at the top of the leaderboard and their performance today justified that position. They took the win in a wonderful double clear performance. Their time in the jump-off was 32.51 seconds, which was just on 3.5 seconds faster than their nearest rivals. Second place, also double clear were Zhoe Willison and the mare Totoka Lodge Dazzle Me in a time of 36.12. Rounding off the podium and providing the only other double clear performance were Harry Manning and Wychwood, who finished in 37.82 seconds.

The final of the Yandoo Equestrian Services Pearl Series was the last class on the program on the Tulara Warmbloods Arena 3. The series, decided over three rounds and the final, saw the top 50% of entrants in the preliminaries qualify for the final. The best performed combination over the three rounds were Queensland’s Lorna Clifford and the mare Ngahiwi Possum who had two wins and a fourth placing. That form from the preliminary rounds unfortunately for them, did not hold up, with a rail in the jump-off relegating them to finish eleventh. The win with a scintillating jump-off round, almost four seconds clear of their nearest rival, went to Eliza Abrahams and Cody. They were double clear in 29.19 seconds, the fastest of 10 double clear performances in the class. Second place went to Zhoe Willison and Totoka Lodge Dazzle Me with a time of 32.95. They were a second clear of the third placed combination of Lorna Clifford and the gelding Kahean Trooper Nelson (33.94 seconds).

It was a wonderful five days of competition producing a very worthy list of championship winners. As usual, the whole championships were very efficiently run by the Boneo Park Team who overcame the many challenges that the wet conditions earlier in the week presented. Following is a list of all the winners and placegetters from yesterday’s competition. Congratulations to all.
