Summer Derby League Final – 2.9.12

Molly, Skye, Harvey and Wendy on the “A” list at Laurel View

 

Raking in the money and enjoying their time in the spotlight after their star performance at the Laurel View Derby Final on 2nd September.

 

First off the starter’s blocks were the 60cm competitors, with half off the competitors notching up a clear round, a jump off was necessary to make the decisions that mattered to decide who went home with the cash stash. Roberta Bradbury, Emma Allen and Penny Murphy all went home a little richer after riding Molly, Elmo and Rupert into the top league spots.

 

The 70cm class had the biggest prize fund of the league, so the pressure was on, but the only competitor that scored a clear round was Ellie Ross on Skye, so they secured the lion share of the stash.  After a jump off, it was only seconds that separated Morgan Skillen on Mayo and Tamara McErlain on Rosie.

 

Plenty of cash for the prize winners over the 85cm course as well. Jump off again to decide placings, so no one should feel short changed with their time in the arena. Taking home the red and the biggest portion of money were Harvey and Chloe Wright, after a very fast clear round in the jump off, slower and steadier earned Marley and Donna Dawson second place, while picking up 4 faults in the jump off meant Ellen Jayne Hill and The Cookie Monster picked up the yellow third rosette.

 

Laura Warde and Wendy may not have had anybody to contest their title in the metre class, but she proved she was worthy of red by winning the class on the day.
