Victorian State Titles off to a Flying Start
Above: Imogen Lindh and Nightwish
Day One of the Cavalor Equicare Victorian State Jumping Titles have wrapped up today at the Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre with Round 1 competition held in all Series.
On the Cavelor Arena, the first class of the day was, Round 1 of the Leader Equine Victorian Childrens Series which saw the win going to South Australian visitors Imogen Lindh and Nightwish who were the fastest in the jump-off of eight double clear combinations. They were just 0.15 seconds faster than local star Zara Adnams and Tally Ho Primrose, with Olivia Curtain and Indi’s Mr Zorba Jones just over 2.5 seconds slower in third.
Tilley Fair and Bella Bonita were the fastest of nine clear rounds in Round 1 of the Petcover Victorian Junior Series, giving them the win. They were over a second faster than Hayden Parker and Yirrkala Pippi Longstockings, with Australian Childrens Champion rider Charlie Dobbin and Yarra Valley Jelly Bean coming in third, over two seconds behind.
In the feature class of the day, it was a family affair. First place in the first round of the Petstock Victorian Senior Series went to Ally Lamb and Eagle Rock in a time of 71.78 seconds. Just 0.60 seconds slower in second place were husband Andrew Lamb and Spartava DP. In third place, less than a quarter of a second behind were James Paterson-Robinson and Equador MVNZ, fresh from their recent success at Sydney Royal where the horse was named as the best performed in Section 2.
The first round of the Petcover Victorian Young Rider Series went to Lorna Reilly and Bellhaven Jazz, clear in 69.37 seconds. They were just ahead of NSW based combination of Jess Rice-Ward and Dinero, with more than half a second back to third placed Hayden Parker and Tulara Spangenburg, also clear in 70.40 seconds.
The last class on the main arena for the day was the Kiernan Plant Hire Mini Prix Series Round 1, which saw Russell Morrison and C.E. Cajun take the win. Second place went to Phillip Lever and BP Jedak Du Rouet. Third place went to Jess Stones and Chatina JRE, which was a great result for Jess who returns to riding after an enforced break of several months following a serious foot injury.
Congratulations to all the winners and placegetters from Day 1 of the titles and we look forward to tracking the progress of each series as they advance towards finals on weekend.
