Tom McDermott takes out Sydney Royal Grand Prix in a thriller

The final and most prestigious class on the Jumping Program at the Sydney Royal Easter Show is the Grand Prix, which was taken out by Tom McDermott and Warraleigh Park Cortez, in a nail-bitter of a finish yesterday afternoon. It all came down to the last rail of the day, before the result was known and the competition kept the crowd captivated right to the end.

The fantastic course made a massive contribution to the spectacle. Befitting the standard of the combinations entered, the rails were lifted to the maximum height and the Graeme Watts designed course (assisted by Aran Ghafouri) looked a spectacular site in the Autumn sunshine, featuring a number of Australiana themed jumps, remnants from the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games brought back to life.
