Held at Castle Hill last Sunday, the Bathurst riders pitted their skills against NSW’s best.

Both Joel Goulding and Chelsie Westman managed to finish on the podium, while Hayley Wolfenden and Liam Westman ranked in the top five.

“Four out of six entries in the top five, if you look at that as a percentage rate, it's pretty up there. It's a good hit rate,” Wolfenden said.

Chelsie Westman was the most successful of the Bathurst riders as she placed second in her 14 girls final.

She actually crossed the line in third, but was promoted to runner-up status behind Taleha Robertson. 

“The girl who crossed the line first in Chelsea’s final got relegated back to last. She made a move that one, put her over the white line – and when you get an advantage from that you get relegated - then two, she took out another girl,” Wolfenden said.

“So Chelsea got moved from third to second.”

Goulding placed third in his 17-24 men’s final, the same decider in which Liam Westman finished fifth.

It was a solid day for Goulding, who also placed top three in each of his motos and qualifying final.

Wolfenden placed fourth in her combined 17-24 and 25-29 years women’s final, bouncing back from a heavy crash in her second moto.

A competitor crashed in front of her and Wolfenden veered off the track in an attempt to avoid coming down herself.

However, she made contact with a medic – his arm striking her through the opening in her helmet – and she hit the deck.

“I felt like someone punched me in the face,” she said.

"I saw the medic and the Esky and then crunch ... I thought the Esky took me out and then I found that he coat-hangered me.

"I was just heading towards the last berm and I was going to sit there and wait for them to go past me and just roll over. I still got points for finishing anyway, it just hurt more.

"I got the best gate of the day too - I was so cranky. I saw her sliding and in my head I probably just over dramatised it a bit because I could have got around her.

"That was one of those split decisions that were a little bit more dramatic than they need to be.”

The honours in her final belonged to Terrigal’s Clare McNamara (33.408), while Wolfenden clocked a 36.076 in narrowly missing the podium.

"Because I qualified third obviously I wanted to finish third, but I didn't nail my gate and that cost me,” she conceded. 

"Third was my goal because the two in front are a whole different level. The one that won it  [McNamara] is number seven in pro this year and number four elite in Australia. Then other girl, the one who came second [Stacey Brown], is an upcoming 16-year-old and I knew she was going to be very strong.

“But I can't complain really - when you get coat-hangered by a medic it could have been day over.”

Caleb Hampton (10th, 17-24 men) and Bradley Martin (30th, 11 boys) were the other Bathurst riders to attend.
