Breezing Through the World Cup Series
Katie Laurie and Dunstan Breeze are on a roll, taking their second consecutive Ultra•Mox FEI World Cup class, this time at the Fiber Fresh Taupo Christmas Classic.
The 10-year-old bay mare just edged out Helen McNaught-McFarlane (Taupo) and Carnutelabryere by .34 of a second in the 12-strong class.
New Zealand’s two top female riders were neck and neck, both with double clear rounds and very close in their times. Laurie also placed third on Dunstan On The Point Eve after picking up a single time fault in each round to finish on two faults in their first-ever World Cup start.
Laurie had plenty of praise for the opposition, as well as her horses.
“I watched Helen go and thought she had it, it was that close,” she said. “I was in a good position though as had already gone on Eve for two time faults, so the worst I could do was second. The plan was to give it a good go on Breeze.”
Breeze, who also won her last World Cup start at Manfeild earlier this month, had warmed up well and sailed through the Gary Sinclair designed course.
The rest of the field all had faults, with the fourth placed Lucy Akers (Opiki) and Tinapai finishing on 12.
Also decided at the show were the overall winners of the North Island league of the FEI World Jumping Challenge for 2015. Briar Burnett-Grant (Taupo) took out Category C, Ally Carson (Putaruru) won Category B and Christine Cornege (Cambridge) was the victor in Category A.
