Horse Show - Schroder Wins Samsung Grand Prix At Dublin, O'Connor
Again Takes Leading Rider Trophy
|
WITH
both the defence of the European Championship and the seventh leg
of the Samsung Super League coming up within weeks, Ireland's Billy
Twomey and Cian O'Connor rode understandably cautious opening rounds
in the Grand Prix at Dublin today (Sunday), but the two riders nevertheless
made it to the seven-horse jump-off, with clears.
However,
in the second round, O'Connor on <Waterford Crystal> took
one fence down in an otherwise steady round, but Twomey managed
a classic clear on <Luidam> without sacrificing speed. Unfortunately,
Netherlands rider Wim Schroder on the 10 year-old bay gelding <Eurocommerce
Montreal> also went clear, but was just over a second faster
than Twomey on Linda Allen's very testing course, and could not
be beaten by any of the remaining finalists.
O'Connor
ended in Sixth position, but his consistently top class performance
during the last five days earned him the show's Leading Rider Trophy
for the second year in succession.
