HOYS 2009 TRI-ZONE NEWCOMERS CHAMPIONSHIPS

All eyes were on Daniel Neilson in the Tri-Zone Senior Newcomers Championship, the reigning champion had qualified two horses for the class but unfortunately he wasn't able to triumph this year. After a super quick jump-off, in a time of 42.12 seconds, first place went to Matthew Sampson from Sheffield riding his own V.Anubertha, having knocked Anthony Condon and Adelgonde-Z down to second place. Julie Andrews took third place after riding a tactical jump-off round on Oslo du pre Pleuri.
