Jim Scobie leading Jumping NSW Amateur Championship at halfway point

Australian Jumping

With the year over half over, we thought it was time to check in with the Jumping NSW Amateur Championship competition to see how the current points table stands.

The competition is currently a race in four, with two combinations tied in the lead and a further two combinations tied in third place just one point off the lead. With a further 11 points back to fifth place, these four combinations have scooted away from the field and would seem to be in a great position to challenge for the championship.

Of the four combinations dominating the points score table, Gundagai based rider and racehorse trainer Jim Scobie is dominant. He has three combinations in the top four and has done so by picking up points in almost every one of the six rounds held to date. He, in combination with both Soxdown and Boomerang Café are tied in the lead on 30 points. Just behind on 29 are Scobie again with Fernhill Aussie Balou, tied with Berridale based Sarah Dreverman and Emmaville Van Gogh. Also tied are the two equal fifth place ranked combinations on 18 points, of Natalie De Souza and Romley Corsair and Alyssa Williams and Willybling.

We have listed the top six placings in each of the six rounds held so far as well as the top 10 overall placed combinations in the championship.
