In the 1.30m it was regular attender John Floody who took the win on-board Craigmanus Hold Up Diamond owned by Claire Craig.

Floody was only 1 of 3 combinations that recorded double clears over the course designed by designer Colm Quinn, stopping the clock in 40.23, a clear six seconds ahead of Yvonne Whiteside who finished in second place with her Grey Gelding Ecclesville.

In one of the biggest class of the day, numerous riders took to the arena in the 1.10m to take on the Colm Quinn designed course.

After some very time 
saving turns on display 
the eventually winner was Sheikh Samir Mirdad with 
his own Guidam Gelding Mirdads Maaa Shaaa Alllah followed closely behind by John Floody and Janine Farrell’s Katinker.

As always in arena two, the Unregistered arena was very well supported.

The newly launched loyal card for unregistered jumping is proving popular with many attendees taking the opportunity to collect tokens for the onsite TRI Equestrian Superstore or to redeem it against a free entry.
