Team Oz has continued success during Week III of Thermal!
No surprise that LESLIE COX again walked away with the championship in the High Adult jumpers, only this time with CASSIUS. SUSAN BERNARD and BONGO were additional class winners in the division.

DIANE LAYCOE’S PERSEVERENCE finished 3rd with Shelley among a competitive line-up in the $10,000 Platinum Performance Hunter Prix. They had a remarkable first-round score of 88!
