With 29 starters ready to take on the challenging course, 20 secured their place in the first jump off, with 9 through to the final jump off. Incredibly, 6 riders secured a triple clear with Ronnie and Kaleche coming out on top with a finishing time of 45.79 seconds.
After a highly professional ride, Ronnie admitted “Her [Kaleche] first round wasn’t her best, she was a bit spooky.. I wasn’t sure how it would pan out, but she’s been really good this year and won HOYS qualifiers and Windsor’s 6-year-olds, she’s been so reliable!”.
Another show stopping performance from Ronnie Lee Jones and Key West RSH, which also secured him second place, followed by Lucy Townley and Billy Pollard in third.
