Koko Story was also crowned the highest-placed Queensland-bred thoroughbred by the Thoroughbred Breeders Queensland Association for the second year running.
On Sunday, the 105cm class of the QOTT Showjumping Showcase had been taken out by Hugh Buchanan and It’s Bandito, who claimed the $4,000 top prize.
Monday also saw the Main Arena play host to the prestigious Thoroughbred and Standardbred Day.
Over $25,000 was on offer across 18 ‘Led’ and ‘Under Saddle’ classes.
The race day-style event saw the two versatile racing breeds compete for the sought-after Champion of their Breed, with horse handlers presenting their horses to the judges in formal race day attire.
Harness trainer/driver Felicity Reinke swapped the track for the showring to compete with mare Pretty Good Reason and gelding Parcellaires in the Standardbred Led Classes.
“It’s fantastic – these horses definitely deserve a chance after racing and it shows their versatility,” Reinke said.
“I’ve been predominantly in the show world, but I’ve also taken some horses jumping, had some in the harness, had some campdrafting and they’ve gone very well.
“The competition today, the horses were presented immaculately, so a credit to everyone that’s come today, and it just shows they’re not just for racing and can have a very good life after.
“It was raining last year, and the weather is beautiful today, so I very much encourage people to bring their horses out and just have fun next year.”
