Sale Grand Prix

Jess Brown proved she has nerves of steel this afternoon. She was the only clear in the first round of the huge Gavin Chester-designed course which had several obstacles at the legal maximum height of 1.60m. There were nine four faulters who went into the second round, with Jess the last to go. Five of them went clear in very good times, so the pressure was well and truly on. And Casco completed a beautiful clear round to win the $10,000 in prize money for first place.

Other place getters were: Billy Raymont/Stardom, Tom McDermott/Limerick, Tom McDermott/Quintago, Brook Dobbin/Silvo, Sharon Slater/Aprilla, Billy Raymont/Anton, Steven Hill/Bellini Star, Russell Johnstone/Borealis Centurion and Sarah Beale/Alpha Cantauri.

Cadiz jumped a very good first round with two green rails which put him out of contention this time.
