What an unforgettable experience at the 2026 VAS Saddle Horse Championships 🏆
Taking three Off The Track Thoroughbreds back on course to the beautiful Bendigo Jockey Club was incredibly special, and I couldn’t be prouder of how professional and polished they all were throughout the event.
I was beyond grateful to be sashed Race Day Ladies Fashions Winner 🥇with my Best friend Diamond Oasis it was wonderful to see him back in the winners circle at his home track, in a quality field of beautifully presented Thoroughbred horses and handlers.
✨ Results ✨
• Miss Dee Luscious finished Top 10 in the Racing Victoria Off The Track Led Final
Second in the Diamond Debutant
• Diamond Oasis, a true crowd favourite, finished an amazing 3rd in the led Ott show hunter state final
•Valentino Rossii was also top 10 in the Open led state final for Holly and they looked incredible in the ladies fashions class.
A huge well done to the committee at Victorian Agricultural Shows for yet another exceptionally run event, especially with the relocation of this year’s show to the Bendigo racecourse the grounds were perfect 👏
