FEI Eventing World Cup, Kihikihi (NZL) Results This entry was posted on 4/12/2007 3:05 PM and is filed under news. From the organizers:
Clarke Johnstone aboard Oakley Vision has had the biggest win of his equestrian career when he took out the New Zealand Qualifier for the FEI Eventing World Cup at Kihikihi near Te Awamutu. Johnstone who is a 19 year old finance student from Otago was the overnight leader after the cross-country and could have afforded to knock six rails in the show-jumping to still finish clear of Auckland's Jenna Mahoney. In the end Johnston dropped just two to claim one of the countries premier equestrian titles. Mahoney on Fassadi were second, and Lucy Jackson on Red Stag Mystery Creek finished third. Matthew Grayling who had earlier catapulted from first to last position after having trouble on Saturday's cross-country had the only clear show-jumping round and climbed back into fourth position. Johnstone said that winning the FEI Eventing World Cup Qualifier has been the highlight of his riding career. "Winning was always the aim, and I am just so thrilled to come out on top in such a strong field" said Johnston. Johnston said that he would like to compete at the FEI Eventing World Cup Final in Europe next year but it will depend on his university commitments. Results:
Clark Johnstone (Oakely Vision) 74.9, Jenna Mahoney (Fasadi) 91.2, Lucy Jackson (Red Stag Mystery Creek) 105.3, Matthew Grayling (NRM Gordon) 154.9, Mitty Forsyth (Phantom Ghost) 160, Megan Finlayson (Lion Heart) 160.8, Ella Matthews (Major Debate) 164.3, Ella Matthews (Major Difference) 185.6.
