KEY POINTS:
Katie McVean, riding Dunstan Hairy McLairy, won the Gold Classic qualifier event held in Canungra, Queensland, yesterday.
With the win McVean, 21, from Mystery Creek, qualified for the $25,000 grand prix next weekend at the Elysian Fields International Showjumping Classic.
McVean was first to go in the jumpoff but set a cracking pace, going clear in 44.01. Former New Zealand Olympian Maurice Beatson said McVean rode "beautifully".
Australians Becky Allen on Koyuna Ted was second and Chris Chug and Vivant third.
