Racing Victoria (RV) is a major sponsor of Jump Off, a new reality television series coming to the Seven Network in Spring 2018 that showcases horse racing and show jumping, as well as celebrating the versatility of thoroughbred horses. The program is being produced by Showmakers and will be rebroadcast on Racing.com.
It features leading Victorian racehorse trainers David Hayes of the Lindsay Park powerhouse, Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Darren Weir, multiple Group 1-winning trainer Mick Price, Ballarat trainer Patrick Payne, along with Godolphin Australia’s head trainer James Cummings.
Each team will work in tandem with some of the country’s best show jumping riders in Dave Cameron, Russell Johnstone, Vicki Roycroft, Jamie Kermond and Peter McMahon, to re-train former racehorses and transform them into jumping champions.
The five teams will jump off for a $100,000 prize pool, Australia's richest show jumping purse, in front of a live audience in the grand finale at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre on Saturday, 2 June 2018.
