KILDARE’s Robyn Maher has a wonderful partner in her mother Elizabeth’s Gowerhass Boy on whom she won the Carr & Day & Martin mini working hunter championship at last week’s Balmoral Show and followed that up by landing the show’s supreme mini championship on the grey.

Maher’s run of success on Saturday started in the mini working hunter starter stakes where she and the 21-year-old Gowerhass Boy were awarded a combined score of 94.5 points by judges Jo Jack and Louise Gaunt. The in-form pairing of Abbey Cassidy and her mother Catherine’s 12-year-old dun mare Darkly Julie finished second on 91.

Earlier, Co Kilkenny’s Robin Lyons Teehan landed the mini cradle stakes having amassed 95 points on board Mary Butler’s 17-year-old Welsh-bred mare Tynffrwd Carys (Cwmmawr Echo – Bodwenarth Millennium Beauty, by Hafodyrynys Welsh Crusader). The two-year-younger Crossways Jr gelding Rookery Boomerang finished second (90) in the hands of Penny Toomey, granddaughter of the chesnut’s Co Cork owner, Marianne Power.

When it came to the section’s championship, Maher and Gowerhass Boy took the title ahead of Lyons Teehan and Tynffrwd Carys and the combined judges saw no need to change this result when it came to the show’s supreme mini championship.
