It's been a wonderful few days for the talented pairing of Clemency Hughes and 'Diamond B Corvina'. They opened their campaign dropping one rail to be third in the One Round Stakes on Friday. On Saturday, they went all clear to win the first Young Rider contest then backed that up on Sunday taking just a rail to finish in fourth place in the class.
But today, on the big arena at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, in the feature event of their group, the Young Rider Grand Prix, they were one of just two combinations who went double clear in an incredibly fast time of 61.38 secs to win the class and in so doing, based on the solid four days of results, Clemency was deservedly named the Most Successful Rider in Group D Jumping Contests for the show.
Congratulations to all our Young Riders, it's been fabulous to watch you all jump so well in front of the big and appreciative crowds here at the show.
