All is set for a great weekend of jumping at the GDP Classic Show, taking place at the lovely Boneo Park on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. With two days of competition already completed, no doubt show organisers will be hoping for some kinder weather over the weekend.
The feature class on Friday was the single round Dabble EQ open with the rails set at 1.40m. Going one better than their second placing in last week’s Browns Sawdust Grand Prix, the win went to Queensland’s Stuart Jenkins and Fairview Alicana in a clear slick 68.03 seconds. Madeline Sinderberry from NSW filled the podium by finishing in second and third place.
On Friday, the open 1.45m class was sponsored by Nutiren Ag Solutions, where a jump-off was required to separate the three combinations who went clear. In the jump-off all three recorded four faults, with the fastest being the Victorians Phillip Lever and the always exciting to watch Lomachenko, in a time of 47.49 seconds. Second place went to the in-form Stuart Jenkins and Fairview Alicana in 49.52 seconds, while last week’s Grand Prix winners Billy Raymont and Caprino were third with a time more than three seconds slower.
The weekend will see plenty of action, including the first leg of the 2023 Stal Tops Australian Young Rider Series, the @ID Mini Prix and the feature event of the show, the Martin Collins Grand Prix. On the GDP arena, there will also be the GPI Racing Junior Championship, the 4Cyte Rising Stars Final, the Feedhouse Childrens Championship and the Homes and Acreage Amateur Championship. Along with a number of support classes, the next two days promises plenty of excitement and quality jumping.
Congratulations to all the winners and placegetters over the course of the first two days of the show who are all listed below.
