The second of six scheduled rounds in the 2020/21 POLi Payments FEI World Cup (NZ) Series was run on Sunday as part of the Egmont A&P Show at Hawera. As has been the case for the last 2 years, the event was won by West Melton rider Tegan Fitzsimon and the 10-year-old, Parkes Family owned, gelding Windermere Cappuccino. The “three-peat” at Hawera continues a rich vein of form for this pair. Having also won the first leg in Hawkes Bay back in October, they are well on the way to making it three series wins in a row.

Despite taking a rail in the first round, Fitzsimon and “Vollie”, as he is known around the stable, were one of five combinations that finished with a final total of four faults, however, it was their sizzling second round time of 50.34 seconds that secured the win. More than 2.5 seconds was the margin back to the second placed pair of Taupo teenager Annabel Francis and her Australian import, 14-year-old gelding Carado GHP. They followed the same pattern as the winners, one-rail and a clear second round, but had to settle for second once again after being runners-up at the Hawkes Bay leg of the series.

Third place went to another Taupo rider, Briar Burnett-Grant and her 12-year-old gelding Fiber Fresh Veroana. This combination were clear in the fastest time in round one, however, a single rail in the second round with a time just 0.08 seconds slower than Francis and Carado, means they had to settle for third.

Fourth place on the Gerrit Beker designed course went to Brooke Edgecombe and LT Holst Andrea who were just 0.05 seconds astern of third. Fitzsimon and 8-year-old gelding Campari, who was having his first start at World Cup level secured fifth place after looking like they were going to record double clear and the victory until a late rail thwarted their attempt at victory.

The third leg of the series will be held at Fielding on the first weekend in December.

The country TV Pony Grand Prix was also run and won on Sunday afternoon and was taken out by 16-year-old Julianne Revfeim from New Plymouth, in combination with a pony that is 4 years older than her, Spot You Later. The pair were one of only two entrants to record double clear, however with a time almost 5 seconds slower than the winners, Katie Readings and Rump Shaker had to settle for second. Crystal Hackett from Waiuku and 16-year-old mare The Dreamer, took a single rail in the jump-off, meaning third place was theirs.

Congratulations goes to all the winners and placegetters over the weekend.

Below is listing of the first 6 placegetters in all the classes where placings were awarded.
