The first championship of the day, sponsored by Cullen Communications, was won by the broodmare Walnut Chase, a 13-year-old liver chestnut mare owned by Mary Rothwell. The reserve spot went to Gerard Sweeney’s seven-year-old grey mare My Carrick Dolly (by Crosstown Dancer).

The champion foal was won by the un-named filly foal by Fintan Himself and owned by Tom Mooney with reserve going to Michael Bailey’s filly foal by Welcome Emperor. The youngstock champion class, judged by Anne Burrington, went to Peter McLoughlin’s yearling filly Ellistown Grey Abbey (by Fast Silver, out of Kilbeg Queen). This filly also won the Patrick Lawlor young stock trophy and the Dodd’s Pharmacy trophy for the best filly.

Young stock champion reserve went to Glen Hest Diamond. Owned and bred by Noel Hamilton, the colt took home the Kevin Lawlor Trophy for best male also.

The in-hand gelding championship was won by Emma Moore’s seven-year-old Donfree I Suppose (by KEC Bluejay Diamond) with Bramblebrough Euro, a five-year-old by Moylough Bouncer, in reserve.

The well-supported performance classes came under the scrutiny of the ridden judge Jane Bradbury and conformation judge Martin Fahy. The champion was found in the Willem Savalkouls-owned stallion Castle Crest. Savalkouls, who recently returned to Holland, is an avid supporter of the show. The reserve title was given to The Dashing Black, owned and ridden by Laura Snow. The supreme championship was judged using a number system. The supreme champion, sponsored by Windsor Motors Bray, went to Walnut Chase while the ridden champion, Castle Crest, stood reserve.
