Boneo Park hosted its first jumping event of 2026, with the Browns Sawdust World Wetlands Day Jumping Championships delivering three days of top-level action from 23–25 January.
Sunday’s 2026 Browns Sawdust & Shavings World Wetlands Grand Prix was claimed by the in-form combination of Jack Barker and Cornets Prinzess, who produced the only double clear of the class. The pair also posted the fastest Round 2 time of 48.75 seconds.
Cornets Prinzess (Cornet Pilatus x Above the Clouds) is a nine-year-old mare purchased from Bridget Kelly. She previously partnered Barker to victory in the Turiya Farms Mini Prix Championship at the 2025 Pet Circle Australian Jumping Championships and also claimed the NSW State Senior Championship title.
Barker dominated Sunday’s feature class, also finishing runner-up with Bellhaven Calisco after lowering just one rail in Round 2 in a time of 52.67 seconds.

Jack Barker followed with Tulara Chia (0/41.90), Tulara On Trend (4/33.05), and Tulara For Quinar (4/33.10). Despite having winning speed, costly rails denied Barker a podium finish on this occasion.
