Last weekend, the wonderful Willinga Park, situated on the NSW south Coast at Bawley Point, hosted its Jumping @ Willinga four-day show. Visitors came from Victoria and Queensland as well as all parts of NSW to participate in an extremely well-run show at what is probably Australia’s most beautiful purpose-built equine facility.

The feature class of the show was held on Sunday afternoon, which was the Willinga Park and 4Cyte sponsored Grand Prix Spectacular, conducted over two rounds. With over $37,000 in prize money to be shared among the top 12 finishers, the competition was of a high standard with a total of 26 combinations lined up to tackle the Graeme Watts designed course. There was only combination able to complete the course clear in both the first and second rounds. The win went to Jamie Winning-Kermond and Tulara Stolensky. Despite putting in one of the slowest second rounds, their careful performance was rewarded with the win and the largest share of the prize money. Going one better than their third place in this class last year, in second was was Tom McDermott and Cooley Gangster, taking just a single rail in the second round, as did Queensland based Gemma Greighton and Dada Des Brimbelles Z in third place. Last year’s winning combination, Josh Collins and Cornel finished in fifth place this year, also racking up just four faults over the two rounds.

Earlier in the day, the Shepherds Electrical Mini Prix Spectacular saw an impressive win to the Victorian visitors Phillip Lever and Oaks Van Dyke. In an all double clear podium, their second round time of 58.68 seconds was enough to relegate Melissa Blair and Zidora to second place, with Olivia Hamood and Yirrkala Cassey in third.

On Saturday, the Coolmore Futurity Spectacular was taken out by another pair of Victorian visitors, namely Brook Dobbin and Devos GP, who put in the only double clear performance of the class. Second place went to James Arkins and Glenara Luxury Z, with Aaron Hadlow and Kosmos filling third.

Also on Saturday, Jack Barker and Tulara Colchic were successful in the third leg of the Stal Tops Australian Young Rider Series, again with the only double clear performance of the class. For our full report on this class, please click HERE.

Adding to the success of Victorians at this show, the Wallaby Hill Children’s Grand Prix Spectacular was won by the promising Olivia Curtain and Australian stock horse Xcella. Also double clear in second place were Charlie Smith and Visages Valentine, with Valentina Hercus and RBH Chaccaria in third.

The most successful rider of the show was Vellara Equine’s Rachael Vella who picked up four wins. Based at Murrumbateman, Rachel scored two wins in 1.00m classes with Little Mate BLB, and another pair of wins at 1.10m, one each with Cordelia Ego Z and the other with Vellara Delerium.

Jack Barker also had a great weekend. Besides his success with Tulara Colchic in the Stal Tops class, they also picked up a win in the Young Rider 1.35m class on Friday. Pairing with Tulara For Quinar, he also had a win in a Junior 1.20m class.

Another rider picking up three wins over the course of the show was Phillip Lever. Before their win in the Mini Prix on Sunday, Phillip and Oaks Van Dyke also had a win on Friday in a 1.35m class for horses under 10 years old. This was after having started the show in style with a win on Lomachenko in an open 1.40m class on the Thursday.

There were also a number of riders who appeared on the top step of the podium twice during the show. North Queensland based rider Dallas Bailey won a pair of classes for horses under 7 years at 1.15m and 1.20m with Tulara Ballora.

Courtney Cusack and Sandhills Swing dominated the Amateur classes with wins on both Saturday and Sunday at 1.10m and 1.15m.

Wins in a pair of Junior classes at 1.05m and 1.10m went to yet another pair of Victorian visitors, Alice Lawrence and Mucho Mucho Deniro.

Upper Hunter Valley based rider Charlie Magnier won 1.20m classes on both the first and last day of the show with Quinn Z. On Thursday, the win was in an Open 1.20m class, while their win on Sunday was in a class restricted to Junior riders.

While Tom McDermott and Cooley Gangster placed second in the feature class of the show, Tom was also atop the podium twice over the course of the show. He and Cooley Gangster won an open 1.45m class on Friday before a win at 1.20m on Saturday in a class for horses less than 7 years old with the mare Clasique Emerella.

Also recording a pair on wins on the program was experienced South Coast rider Dion Williams. He paired with Carona B to win an open 1.20m class before wrapping up the program by taking out the last class of the show on arena 2 with gelding Rhienstone at 1.15m.

It was a fantastic show, worthy of the magnificent property on which it was held. Congratulations goes to all the winners and placegetters, particularly Jamie Winning-Kermond for her wonderful performance in the Grand Prix.
