Corlioni takes top spot at the Meadows Grand Prix Weekend

2019 saw this show run once again over three days commencing on Friday 14th June and finishing with the feature class of the weekend, the Coolmore Showjumping sponsored 1.35m Grand Prix carrying a purse of £1000 which also was part of the Ulster Region SJI Ballyward Summer Tour.

Owned by his mother Penny, Corlioni is a nine-year-old Chestnut Mare by Pacino out of a Cascalettp St Ghyvan z mare.

As expected, there was a large contingent of experienced local riders contesting this round and as a result, the eight combinations that proceeded to the jump-off only had a win in mind.

First to go with Ping Ball was young rider Katie Conlon, who as pathfinder gave a steely performance, but with a total of eight faults, ended in 8th position.

Co Armagh’s Lucy Gibson kept everything in place in a slower time 42.47 for eventual 3rd place.

No stranger to pressure, Shane McCloskey set off at a blistering pace with Cooleyhill Bonzo C and a series of tight lines saw him cross the line almost two seconds faster in 40.95 to take the second place rosette.

Listed as last to jump, Campbell knew what he 
had to do to be in with a chance.

Throwing caution to the wind he kept the pace up throughout the course. A clear in 38.01 seconds resulted in him heading the line-up and taking home the lion’s share of the £1,000 on offer.

In the TRI 1.20m, Jodie Creighton and Hylight held their nerve to the end and was rewarded with the full points as well as the red rosette, ahead of speed professional Emma Jackson, who had to settle for second place on this occasion with her own Creevagh for Sure.
