The Magic Millions Queensland Off-The-Track Showjumping Qualifier at Darling Downs Showjumping Club was held on Sunday with Kolora Lodge’s Peter McMahon and Royal Talisman posting a brilliant win.
With two impressive clear rounds and a speedy jump off, Peter and Royal Talisman (who competed at the TSHA National Titles last week ridden by Peter’s daughter Elkee) along with seven fellow competitors will make their way to the Gold Coast for the finale at the 2024 Pacific Fair Magic Millions Polo & Showjumping.
Royal Talisman is a 14YO gelding by Victoria Derby winner Benicio from Temeraire and proved a less than successful racehorse with five unplaced starts racing as Immortalis before finding his true calling as a showjumper.
He is a half-brother to stakes-winner Humbucker and comes from the family of Group I winner Lady of the Pines. Using Breednet’s Family Search for upcoming yearling sales shows two entries related to this star showjumper!, Click to see them.
