Hyderabad: The second National Qualifier (NQ) of the year concluded on Friday at the Hyderabad Polo & Riding Club (HPRC), Gandipet, with 21 starts across four classes — Children-II, Children-I Dressage, Junior and Young Rider Show Jumping — adding six qualifying performances to the 12 recorded on the opening day.
Over the two days of competition, 58 starts produced 18 qualifications towards the Junior National Equestrian Championships.
Dressage set the tone for the final day. In the Children-I class, Anet Salomi Castilino rode Bella to 71.61 per cent, the highest score of the Qualifier and Janampally Hitesh Reddy qualified on Centaur with 61.550 per cent. In the Children-II class, Siddharth Dutta scored 70 per cent on Wilbur and HPRC’s Ananya Gupta qualified on Sky with 60.625 percentage.
In the Junior Show Jumping, Chris Jonathan Castilino on Premier Handsome Boy and Prabhnoor Singh Madan on Monte Carlos each qualified on four penalties from a field of six.
Across two days, Siddharth Dutta and Ananya Gupta each qualified three times in both — Show Jumping and Dressage while Anet Salomi Castilino added the week’s best dressage mark to her Children-I show jumping round.
“Two children qualifying in both disciplines, and a 71 per cent dressage test in the Children-I class — that is the standard this Qualifier has set,” HPRC President Chaitania R. Kumar said.
