BALMORAL returned to the national show jumping calendar last week, albeit on a later than normal date. The action kicked off last Wednesday morning with the Blue Frog Five-year-old Championship.

With 12 combinations going to post, three booked their place against the clock and just two double clears were delivered. Claiming victory was Ryan O’Neill and Rockdrum Touche when they stopped the clock in 39.78 seconds. Owned and bred by Damien Carry, the gelding is by Cara Touche out of the White Clover-sired Rockdrum Clover Lady.
