Summer rains at Sydney Summer Classic
Whilst the day started off with blue skies, a nice reprieve from yesterday’s drenching, it wasn’t long before the clouds rolled over and the skies opened up once more. Luckily the grass arena held up remarkably well and whilst there were a few delays during the day to allow for thunder and lightning to pass, all classes were eventually completed.
In the same fashion as yesterday, Andrew Inglis took out the win in the first class (the Open 1.25m), this time with Indiana Goodtimes. They were one of 25 combinations which recorded clear rounds in both phases, beating Tess McInerney and Quintation into second place with Alisa Williams and Willybling filling third place.
Next class was the special two-phase competition for Young Riders which was completed despite a lengthy delay following a midday storm which drenched the arena. The win went to Anneliese Wansey and Grandiamo with Madeline Sinderberry and Keilor Bamboo in second and Alexandra Gostelow and Tulara Cristo filling third place. These three were the only combinations to record clear rounds in both phases.

Billy Raymont and YPH Capulet took out the open 1.35m class with a pair of Victorian visitors filling out the podium. Brook Dobbin and his mare Velvet Cate were second, while Phillip Lever and BP Jedak Du Rouet were third. As with the previous class, these three were the only three double clear performances.
The final class of the day had a total of 17 combinations on the start list, however the wet conditions saw a large number of withdrawals, with all the starters coming from interstate. Phillip Lever and Lomachenko went double clear to take the win, ahead of Jess Pateman and Celso, who were also double clear. A rare rail for Raymont and Anton saw them finish in third place.
With the prospect of a much better weather forecast tomorrow, we are hoping that we have seen an end to the rain which has fallen during the first two days and look forward to a great weekend of Jumping as the Chatham Park Summer Classic reaches it’s conclusion over the weekend
