KILTEALY producer J.J. Bowe didn’t have the best of experiences in the performance Irish Draught section at the RDS last August but, as he had already purchased two horses for this year’s Dublin Horse Show, he decided to press ahead and try to qualify them.

This he managed to do on Saturday at Forth Mountain, where Louise Lyons finished first and second respectively in the younger horse qualifier on Bowe’s Rosscahill Lad and Elm View Hero.
