Bloomin' Fabulous for McVean
Saturday, 3 December 2011


<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;"><strong>Double clear in a slick time was just the ticket for
Katie McVean and Dunstan Daffodil to take the honours in the World Cup class at
the Feilding IA &amp; P Show last night (Saturday).<br><br></strong></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The Olympian from Mystery Creek was the only one to leave
everything in place over both rounds of the challenging Leicester Jarden
(Wellington) 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;">Just before her win, her race horse training sister
Emmalee Browne notched an impressive win with Desperaux at Ellerslie.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Twelve started the World Cup class, the third in the NZ
series, with nine coming back for the second round. McVean, Maurice Beatson
(Dannevirke) on My Gollywog and Bernard Denton (Gisborne) on Suzuki were the
only ones clear.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">McVean’s clear and speedy 50.05 seconds couldn’t be
matched, although second placed Beatson gave it a pretty good shot, paying for
his efforts with two rails.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Denton also took two rails. In fourth place was Danielle
Maurer (Auckland) aboard Blue Rinse in their first-ever World Cup start.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">McVean had a slender one-point advantage over Beatson
going into the class, and while she’ll still be ahead, the series it turning
into a two-horse race between the World Champs team-mates.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Clear rounds were scant in the young rider class too,
which saw just Tim Myers (Taranaki) on Pick Me NZPH and Luke Dee (Gisborne) on
Ombudsman the only two from the 10-strong field coming back for the jump-off.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Dee was out first and took a rail as he tried to lay a
challenge for Myers, who took the class with a double clear.<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 Rebecca Porter (Hastings) and the
perennial Chobidong were the only ones to go clear and inside time. Until last
weekend the combination had never won a grand prix, now they are sitting on a
hat trick.<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 Emily Fraser (Dannevirke) and Tony the Pony
were clear but had a single time fault.<br><br></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">And it was all Lisa Hogg (Ohope) and IQ in the junior
rider where they too were the only clear round.</span></p>
