| | Olynpic Saddlery Connaught League Final 2010 | |
|  |
| | MCGUINNESS WINS GAIN HORSE FEEDS CONNAUGHT GRAND PRIX FINAL On August 1st the Final of the Connaught Grand Prix League was held at Duffy’s Equestrian Centre in Claregalway. The main sponsors were Olympic Saddlery, Gain Horse Feeds and Tiernan Gill’s Brooklands Bedding. This final leg was called the Peter Pan Grand Prix and the prizemoney of E3000 was generously sponsored by Justin Burke, of the Galway Bay Stud, who stands the stallion Peter Pan.
The most exciting aspect of the competition was the dual between Gabriel Slattery of Irishtown, who headed the leaderboard with 32 points on John Byrne’s Captain’s Magic Touch, and John McGuiness of Mohill with Pam Donaghy’s Talent on 25 points. The balance could be tipped either way - and with the highest-pointed contenders drawn at the end of the class it was going to be rather a long wait for the final outcome. The atmosphere was that of a carnival. Children were having their faces painted and leaping in the bouncy castle, there was smoke and delicious, appetising smells coming from the barbecue and the sun shone. Forty-seven starters prepared to do battle over Brendan Duffy’s rightly-challenging track. The first horse had a time fault and the fourth had a time fault and there were some mumblings but no official objections and things settled down. Eighth to jump was 15-year-old Michael Duffy on his Ballinasloe winner of the previous week Ali G, and in fine style he came faultless through the finish showing that clear rounds were not out of the question. In fact fourteen made it through to the jump-off and they included Talent and Captain’s Magic Touch so the battle was still on! Young Duffy was first in for the jump-off with his mother Kathryn’s Ali G and he clocked a galloping, clear round (40.40 seconds) leaving the other thirteen thinking carefully about how he could be caught. Gabriel Slattery with his own, very in-form, Castlelawn Kannan neatly cut all available corners and got his clear round down to a time of 39.48 seconds and went into the lead. The next clear round in 43.55 seconds came from Glenn McCullough and announcer-Alan Horan’s Monroe GG who was, understandably, unable to keep his delight from his commentary. Ann Smurfitt’s Top of the Pack ridden by Richard Kerins went clear in 46.29 followed by Damien Griffin’s clear (43.77) on Pat Duffy’s Gortlettra Echo Rose. At this stage Michael Duffy was still in second place and, not wishing to give up the battle, he came into the ring with Sligo Saddlery Killard Horizon and gave his all to finish in 39.35 seconds – doing the time but having the last fence down!
John Mcguinness and Talent showed true brilliance as a partnership when, galloping between the last two fences, they broke the beam clear in 37.76 and everyone wondered what the outcome could possibly be as Gabriel Slattery came into the ring with Captain’s Magic Touch. John McGuinness proved unassailable and with one fence down in a time of 39.85 Gabriel was super-sportsman-like in defeat.
The full result is as follows: 1st John McGuinness, Talent owned by Pam Donaghy; 2nd Gabriel Slattery riding his own Castlelawn Kannan; 3rd Michael Duffy, Ali G owned by Kathryn Duffy; 4th Glenn McCullough, Monroe GG owned by Alan Horan; 5th Damien Griffin, Gortlettra Echo Rose owned by Pat Duffy; 6th Richard Kerins, Top of the Pack owned by Ann Smurfitt; 7th Michael Duffy, SS Killard Horizon owned by Kathryn Duffy; 8th Gabriel Slattery, Captain’s Magic Touch owned by John Byrne.
Olympic Saddlery gave E100 voucher and a rug to the winner, John McGuinness, and E100 to the best-placed young rider, Michael Duffy. John also got ten bags of Gain Horse Feed and Michael gets one week’s training in Germany with Carl Hanley, flights included.

| | Olympic Saddlery Connaught Grand Prix League 2010 - Headford | |
| |
| | Connaught Showjumping The second leg of the Connaught Grand Prix League was held in Headford, Galway, yesterday (Saturday
June 12th). The sponsor for this leg of the League was Mr Frank Heneghan of the Anglers’ Rest Hotel in Headford while the cup for the winner was presented by Peter Fox of Turloughmore in memory of Shane Costello. There were fifty-one competitors. The course height began at 1.30m and finished, in the jump-off, at 1.40m. It was a very entertaining competition over a challenging course set by Tommy Gibbons. The most interesting fact was the number of Young Riders and Children who competed remarkably well and gained a fair share of the prizemoney! Of the 51 starters, twenty had clear rounds and went through to the jump-off. Six riders had double clears the fastest of which was Conall McLoughlin from Carrick-on-Shannon, a Young Rider. He rode HHS Foxy. Second place went to another Young Rider, Michael Duffy from Turloughmore, riding Sligo Saddlery Kinnard Horizon. In third place came an under-14-year old, Noelle Barry from Ennis, riding Vis a Vis. Gabriel Slattery from Irishtown filled fourth position riding Captain’s Magic Touch. Fifth was Owen Horan from Claregalway riding Coronado. Sixth was Cormac Rafferty from Tuam (KMR Taylor Made) and in eighth place was another Young Rider, Jonathan McDonnell from Crossmolina riding Little Bighorn. |

| | For the second week running Ballindine’s young rider sensation Eric Glynn stole the headlines by winning the Claregalway McDonald’s Drive Thru Grand Prix on Sunday in superb style. Glynn was riding Retiro Van W – which he jumped to sixth in a National Grand Prix event in Limerick last week - on Sunday and having secured a place with 18 others in the jump off from a starting field of 56, he set about a clear round determined to shave as much as possible off the clock in the process. The circuit was challenging at the Duffy’s Equestrian Centre venue and breaking 40 seconds was always going to be a huge obstacle. Glynn got closest with a clear round in 40.80 that set a daunting target for all comers. Sligo’s Richard Kerins certainly wasn’t fazed and jumped brilliantly to secure his highest finish of the season so far on Steinburg with a well-earned second place in 42.48. He also came home sixth in the event on Verdi in 52.36. The battle for the overall title remains in the balance. Third place Olive Clarke didn’t compete this weekend while both Carl Hanley and Ballinasloe’s Damien Griffin had fences down in the jump off on their leading horses in the overall horse/rider combination standings, although Griffin’s time was enough to gain two points after finishing in ninth place. Griffin and Lissy Egan Clover Diamond are now just eight points back from Hanley and Kalipso du Marais but both riders will look at Sunday’s event as a missed opportunity. Oranmore’s Clarke is 12 points behind in third and jumping superbly well on the national scene after a fine third place finish in Saturday’s National Grand Prix event in county Meath. She is still in the running ahead of the Crossmolina show next Saturday and the final two rounds in Claremorris later this month. |
