COMPETITORS

With over 100 applications of interest in this years competition, horses were selected based on a number of criteria which included age, breeding, race day experience and location. Watch the video for a summary of our competitors, or view the gallery below for their individual introductions

Each competitor in this years Dunstan Ex-Factor was required to present their horse at a trot up and be judged for the Gregory Equine Best Presented and Conditioned class prior to competing in their selected events. They then selected three of the further six optional events available to compete in, with placings in these classes earning points which determined the overall winner of the Dunstan Cup for 2016.

Our generous sponsors ensured we were able to put up a prize pool of over $14,000 for these riders to compete for.
