Victory Day for David Cooper at SSJC
The first weekend in September traditionally sees the Sydney Showjumping Club hold its “Jump into Spring” Championship Show and this year was no exception. Held in perfect early spring weather, classes were held across four arenas with classes ranging from 0.55m to 1.35m, providing something for everyone to compete in.
After a day of warm up classes on Saturday, the show moved into Championship mode on Sunday, seeing winners crowned in a range of categories.
The feature class of the show was the Emcee Apparel 1.35m Open Championship, which was decided only after an exciting three combination jump off. Atlanta Olympian David Cooper and the very appropriately named Victory Day put in the only double clear performance to take the win. They prevailed over Andrew Inglis and Alillie, who had to settle for second after unfortunately taking the very last rail in the jump off, yet finishing in a slightly faster time than the winner. Third place was a tie, between Andrew Inglis and Laracas, who were eliminated after two refusals and James Mooney and his World Cup horse KPH Cavatina, who were granted permission by the judge to withdraw from the jump off.
All was not lost for Andrew Inglis, however. He and another of his horses, Indiana Goodtimes, put him in the winners list after they put in a pair of double clear efforts to take out both the Coolibah 1.25m Open Championship and the Equine International Airfreight Open 1.20m Championship. In the 1.25m class, second place went to young Charlie Magnier aboard Master Stevie G with Georgia Apps and Finch Farm Viduka in third, both also double clear. In the 1.20m championship, second place went to Teigan Matthews and Baloubell, some four seconds behind the winner. A further four seconds astern were Jessica Spence and Clasique Emerella, filling third,
There were three championships decided at 0.90m. The Junior division went to Grace Vassallo and Little Valley Xfactor, while Emma Fontanot and Fidem Elpis Amor won the Adult division. Jeff Penza and Bojack were successful in the Amateur division.
With the rails at 1.00-1.05m, a further three championships were competed for. The Junior section was won by Isla Fotofili and her OTT thoroughbred Tommy. Alicia Daly and Navarra Eclipse were the Adult champions while Jeff Penza and Bojack completed a very successful day, by again taking out the Amateur title.
Camden Hire sponsored championships for a pair of horse age related classes. Both at 1.10m, the championship for horses 8 years and younger went to Teigan Matthews and Baloubell. In the 9 years and older championship, the winners were Ruby Conlon and Lamondale Mika.
The feature class for the amateurs, over 1.15m, was won by Rebecca Swinton and Moonwalk. They were two seconds clear in the jump off from Jeff Penza and his OTT mount Fireball. Third place, also double clear were Lori James and Bond Girl SHP.
Congratulations to all the winners and placegetters over the two days. Below is a listing of the top six finishers in all classes.
