Photo by Rod Manson Background photo of Victoria Park Grandstand by Rod Manson Ben Leahy (on Le Directeur) has recently returned from working overseas and has plans to return with his horse to continue competing. Unfortunately their stunning showjumping round could not make up the points for the two random stops cross country, putting them into 34th, but certainly bodes well for their future performance. Lindsay Honey and Bindaboo finished in 14th after a clear cross country with only 9.2 time and two rails down in the jumping. After a poor start in the dressage, Luke Ellis on Ellison Park Junior put in an amazing clear cross country with only 1.6 time, but withdrew before the showjumping. All said and done it was a great effort from WA at this International event on the other side of the Nullabor.
