Showjumping Showcase raises the bar One of the nation’s most lucrative showjumping events for retired racehorses is returning in 2024 to take centre stage at the Royal Queensland Show. Following a successful debut in 2023, the Queensland Off-The-Track (QOTT) Program Showjumping Showcase returns to the Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday, August 11 and Monday, August 12, as part of the Ekka’s showjumping competition schedule. This year, $50,000 in prize money will be up for grabs in the increased 1.20m class, while the new 1.05m class will see an additional $25,000 available, with both categories paying down to 30th place. To be staged in the Main Arena, the events will be exclusively held for retired racehorses. Following the success of the inaugural event in 2023, the new class was added to expand the presence of off-the-track horses. The incentive of an impressive prize money pool at an event exclusively for retired racehorses makes for a great reward for those who ensure that former racehorses enjoy a fulfilling life after racing.
