YOU can read all about Jonathan Cowden’s performance at last weekend’s European Apprentice Drivers Championship on the Spanish island of Mallorca in Dan Carlin’s report (Page 76) but here’s a little bit of information about the Belfast 19-year-old.

Known also as Jonny and Jono, Cowden started riding ponies and was involved in show jumping up until 2016 (his last year as a member of Show Jumping Ireland) when he decided to concentrate competitively on harness racing. However, he rides out most days for Stuart Crawford so has not totally given up riding for driving.
