Top Result For Kiwi Showjumper In Rich NY Class

Californian based Kiwi Duncan McFarlane and his lovely big Hanoverian showjumper Mr Whoopy have finished second in the Pfizer $1million grand prix in New York this morning (Monday NZ time).

McFarlane and Andre Thieme (GER) aboard Aragon Rouet were the only two through to the jump-off from the 44 starters.

McFarlane threw everything at it and while he notched the fastest time of the two – 1.35 seconds faster – he paid for his speed with two rails.

It was a star-studded line-up including former Olympians and champs, and McFarlane pockets $US200,000 for his efforts.

The combination were eighth in the same class last year.
