Old Salem Farm Grand Prix Analysis (Spring 1. May 15, 2022)

 

The Grand Prix during the first week of the Old Salem Farm Spring series was a CSI3*, designed by Alan Wade.  It was held during the day on the new sand international arena at the OSF Venue. 

We saw a total of 47 faults in Round 1.  The most faulted obstacle was a Combination-Mid Oxer, (Vertical-Oxer-Vertical combination).  This jump was responsible for 17% of faults in Round 1.  

The next most faulted jumps were the A element of the same combination and a single other oxer (the jungle themed oxer with green rails immediately preceding this combination).  Each respectively caused 13% of faults.

In total, the Triple Combination was responsible for 38% of Round 1 Faults; moreover, if we also include faults from the Double Combination at 10AB, Total Combination Faults = 57% of Round 1 faults!  (This is significantly higher than the average for Combination Faults in a High Performance Class which we are seeing around 37%.)

All jumps except 2, an Other Related Oxer, were faulted at least once. 7 other jumps were each faulted only once.  All in, of the 16 course elements, half were responsible for 85% of the faults in Round 1!

The class was won by Jordan Coyle on Centriko Volo.
