FRANCIS Derwin dominated in Sunday’s Derryronane Stud 1.35m Connaught Showjumping Grand Prix at Galway EC, taking first and second places in the €3,000 class.

Derwin won the class aboard Carol Gee’s Dutch-bred Leonardo when they produced a jump-off time of 40.68 in the eight-way decider. He took second place riding his own Belgian-bred mare Quinci Quality (Cornet Obolensky x Crawford) in 42.04.

Third place went to Aoife McCabe and her own Heritage Enigma (Eldorado van de Zeshoek x Canturo), bred by Anne-Marie O’Gorman, in 43.38. Sven Hadley and Maximum Numero Too HSH slotted into fourth as the fastest four-faulter, while fifth went to Shane Goggins and Jack Goaley’s Boleybawn Cayman (Cassidee x Ard VDL Douglas), bred by Ronan Rothwell. Hadley also took sixth place aboard his own eight-year-old Make It Easy HSH (Don’t Touch It M x Landos).
