YOUNG riders again came to the fore in the HSI/Connolly’s Red Mills Spring Tour last weekend, with Anna Carway emerging as the victor at Barnadown EC. Partnering the aptly-named Winner, Carway triumphed against a strong field to bring Barnadown’s two-week spring tour series to a close.

Drawn early in the jump-off, Carway set what would prove to be an unbeatable standard when recording a faultless performance in a time of 34.63 seconds. The result was a success on two levels, with the leg of the tour in Barnadown also acting as a viewing day for junior and young riders with selector John Ledingham present for the entire day.
