30/07/08
Two weeks ago saw both Round 5 and Round 6 of the Qld Grand Prix Horse of the Year Series held. Round 5 was the Qld Country A & B Championships at Cairns Show.
The winner was Robert Goodwin of Warwick on Early Times. This puts them into the runner up position for the Newcomer Division which is still lead by Billy Raymont’s Stardom. Round 6 was the Gatton Show Grand Prix which was won by local rider Clem Smith & Dark Ages. In second place was Randlab Caponne ridden by Paula Hamood of Kilcoy making a great return to the showjumping arena after having her fourth child.
Dark Ages and Farmer Jacob now share the lead in the Horse of the Year Series. This week will see the Queensland’s FEI World Cup Rounds being run at Toowoomba, the Ekka and then onto Caboolture.

Qld State Championships 25 - 28 July 2008
PRESS RELEASE - Friday program CANCELLED!
Please be advised that the Showjumping Committee has made the tough decision to move the program indoors for this weekend’s State Championships. The main arena is still water logged, and with the World Cup show next weekend, it is better to preserve the footing as much as possible. Saturday is likely to run into the night, but not many other options are available now…
The prizemoney has been pooled into the two remaining classes for each section. The State Champion will still be decided from the results from both classes.
Any enquiries can be directed to Alison Ford on 0419646737.

AUSTRALIA AGAINST THE USA, WITH A TOUCH OF MONEGASQUE PRESENCE
IT WAS AUSTRALIA AGAINST THE USA, WITH A TOUCH OF MONEGASQUE PRESENCE
27 June 2008
Edwina Alexander (AUS) and Isovlas Socrates
Guiseppe Rolli fell off his horse, Christina Liebherr’s horse went through the jump and Jean-Marc
Nicolas was eliminated, but other than that, it was just a tough course.
Again with long lines and sharp turns, Olaf Petersen wanted to get the best from the riders as a
test for the Grand Prix on Saturday.
Even the winner of the second class yesterday, Bernardo Alves (BRA), had to retire. He and his
horse Chupa Chup showed they were in Olympic form, but did not have their way.
Of the 32 starters in the second class today, it was Sheikh Ali Al Thani that had the most penalty
points. With 22 penalties on his résumé, he finished last. Again 11 combinations started in the
jump-off, which was full of riders that knew how to ride! Gerco Schröder (NED), Ludo
Philippaerts (BEL), Robert Whitaker (GBR), all of them had made it into the jump-off, but only
Edwina Alexander was fastest. Australia had beaten Beezie Madden with Onlight (Calando x
Landgraf), who represented the USA.
Winning €6.250, Edwina Alexander was very happy to go into the arena again, especially after
her second place in Cannes (although that was with Itôt du Château), she was happy to show the
form she and her horse Isovlas Socrates are in. for more click here

Robert and Mac win A and B Grade Power and Speed at Townsville Show 2008
Robert Goodwin had a good show with some great results. His father Lindsay Goodwin was asked by the Townsville Show Society to Judge over the weekend, which meant he got to see Robert ride the little 15.1hh Australian Stockhorse Thistle HIll Fleetwood for the first time over a big course. Lucky he did as Mac won the A and B Grade Power and Speed and backed it up on the Sunday by coming 6th in the A and B Grand Prix. Robert won the event on his warmblood stallion Warrego Sandon. Mac competed in his first Grand Prix the previous weekend at Ayr Show and also placed 6th. Well done Robert and Mac!
