James Arkins on the podium in Vegas
By Equestrian Life
Australian show jumper James Arkins has finished on the podium in third place in the FEI 1.35m Blenheim EquiSports “Royal Flush“ Jump Off Classic at the Las Vegas National.
Riding Joevaro, James produced a double clear and stopped the clock at 32.9 seconds, only a fraction behind winners Conor Swail and Errol of Ireland, who completed the course in 32.18 seconds. Fellow Irish combination Daniel Coyle and Jeffrey Jarden were second in 32.21 seconds.
James also rode Eurostar 1 in the FEI CSI4*-W 1.50m Las Vegas National “All In” Speed Stake, having one unlucky rail down to finish just outside the placings.
Competition continues over the weekend.
