MEATH’s Carla Williamson currently occupies the top three spots in the EI110 (P) league, leading with Jane Hancock’s 16-year-old Tinka’s Boy gelding Ardeo Fireman on whom she won at Tyrella (3) on Saturday, April 22nd.

There were just four starters at the Co Down seaside venue and only one the following day at Hillcrest where David Keatley claimed the honours with his mother Grace’s Connemara mare Crosskeys Bella. On board that seven-year-old Crosskeys Rebel dun at Frankfort Stud, Keatley found himself runner-up to the dual The Irish Field junior event rider of the year, Ben Connors, and his parents’ Connemara gelding Cornafest Fred, a 10-year-old bay by Gwennic de Goariva.
