24 x 6 year old horses started this year - all beautifully presented and a credit to their owners and grooms. The influence of imported stallions, and imported mares ( it is sad that there are not more) along with the availability of imported frozen semen from proven international horses is starting to impact the quality of young horses available in Australia. In 10 short years the number of excellent prospects which are available to the keen competitor has increased dramatically and most of the horses in today's competition were worthy of their opportunity to take part. |

and left - A'seduction by Aachimedes and bred in Queensland by Bev & John Edwards from Jaybee Farms This lovely stallion is owned and ridden by Sally Evans. Ulf said that this horse was nicely forward
and He awarded him 8.00 for rideability. |
 Gracefield Fabian and Lizzie Fellows-Wilson By Richmeed Medallion and from a Valuta mare. He has such a love farm but is often not quite well enough engaged with his hind legs. They finished in 7th position. |
 AnnMaree Lourey on Byalee Magic who is also by Richmeed Medallion and out of Salute mare. Richmeed Medallion has fantastic breeding - he is by May Sherif who is the sire of the incomparable Matador and also Andiamo - both notable horses on the international scene a few years ago. |

Sunbury Lodge Playwright by Donnerheist and from a Balmoral Boy TB mare. This lovely horse was bred by Ann & Ross Smith and purchased by his rider - Judy Peel from Tasmania as a newly broken youngster. He was not forward enough for my liking, but showed a great temperament and aptitude for the work. |

Welfenadel by Welt Hit ll and from a mare by Pablo. This positively outstanding young stallion and another gelding were purchased by Lesley-Ann Taylor (from South Australia) from Performance Sales International in Germany where Ulf Möller is based in January this year. His trot is sensational with such expression in the knee action. It is very exciting to see horses like this one in Australia. He was of wonderful quality but lacked a little of the polish of the first three placegetters in this class. He was 4th and Ulf did not get to ride him. |

The
Champion of Champions was decided from the two horses which received a 9.5 for rideability
from the guest riding judge Ulf Möller . The chairman of the Judging Panel - Mr. Harry Boldt chose a most unorthodox method of separating the two. He asked Ferrero Rocher and Mayfield Pzazz to walk, trot and canter and after each pace he asked the audience to applaud their favourite. The winner was decided by the amount of noise created. As both horses - this was a great way to choose and get the audience involved. I felt that Pzazz was the correct choice as he has the better walk. Congratulations to Kerry Mack and all those who have had a part to play in this lovely young horse's success. |
