Laurel View Derby Competition – 20.2.22

It’s been quite a while since there has been a Derby at Laurel View, way back in August 2018 and that was outdoors. Thankfully this show was being run indoors, as Storm Eunice was still doing her best to stop play in many parts of the province. The erratic presence of Eunice resulted in the running order changing quite a bit from the times posted on Friday evening.

Out of a class with 7 starters, lots of effort and enthusiasm was evident in the 50cm class, but only one partnership made it round clear, earning them the top position.

Bigger fillers were moved in to place before the 65cm course got underway. A good strong class, with a jump off required to sort out the top two spots after riding lovely clear rounds

In the 80cm class clear rounds eluded everyone, but jump offs were required to divide those ending up with very respectable scores of 4 and 8 faults.

Then the derby finished up with the 95cm course. A lovely clear round from Cora McNulty and Pippa, secured them the number 1 spot.
