Brook Sample wins 2010 Tom Quilty Endurance Ride

Valinor Park Arabians would like to extend their congratulations to both Brook and Leigh Ann Sample on Brook’s fantastic win at the Tom Quilty Gold Cup. Brook won the ride, in very difficult conditions, in the time of 8 hours and 35 minutes, with the closest Middleweight rider being more than 10 minutes behind him. His horse, Brookleigh Excalibur, bred by Brook and Leigh Ann, looked fantastic at the end of the ride, and Brook’s ride was a consumate show of horsemanship.

Valinor Park stud principals, Mark, Helen and Bronwyn, were part of Brook’s strapping team, and felt very privileged to be able to share with both Brook and Leigh Ann a little of their success. We look forward to next year’s Quilty when our Barabas progeny will be competing with Brook and Leigh Ann.
