<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif""><strong>Torrential rain didn’t stop Katie McVean turning on a
classy performance to take the fourth round of the New Zealand World Cup series
at the Christmas Classic in Taupo today (Saturday).</strong><br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">Aboard her homebred horse Dunstan Daffodil, McVean
(Mystery Creek) was the only one of the seven starters to notch even one clear
round – McVean went double clear, just to make sure.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">The defending series champ, who earlier this year
represented New Zealand at the World Cup final, showed she’s right on track to
repeat the feat.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">Six the seven starters came back for the second round –
Bernard Denton (Gisborne) on Suzuki and Lisa Coupe (Kumeu) on Bates Amaretto
both carried four faults apiece through, with Maurice Beatson on My Gollywog
and Phillip Steiner (Tauranga) on Annandale Online NZPH sitting on eight faults
each.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">The rails continued to fall in the second round, with all
but McVean taking a rail each. Coupe took second place thanks to a slicker time
than Denton.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The class marked the end of a very successful three day
show.<br></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br><br></span> </o:p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Results -</span></p>
