<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;"><strong>Doug Isaacson and Major Brown blitzed the field in the
horse grand prix at the one star Wairarapa A&P Show today (Sunday).</strong><br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The Dannevirke duo were one of six combinations from the
14 starters to go through to the second round over the Neil Thorburn
(Dannevirke) designed course.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Second-placed Claire Wilson (Waipukurau) and Alaric II
were 1.21 seconds behind the winning team, but only a smidgen ahead of third
placed Shaun Fannin (Hastings) on Strathcarron Zaurak.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The third placing wrapped up a brilliant show for Fannin,
who was also third in the young rider classes aboard Strathcarron Zaurak, and
second in the pony grand prix on Sir Samson.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">In the pony grand prix there was nothing between winner
Kalah McKay (Levin) on Kabo So Far and runner-up Fannin on Sir Sampson.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The two combinations were part of a five-strong jump-off
from the 10 starters. Both went double clear with McKay stopping the clock just
.55 of a second faster. <br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The three day show attracted excellent entries in the
showjumping classes.<br><br></span></p>
