ONCE again the RDS pony qualifiers demonstrated the level of talent in this division. With the standard so high at the four qualifiers, all those who secured their place at Ballsbridge proved they have the ability to claim one of the coveted titles on offer.

Last year’s 128cms champion Tom Wachman has demonstrated his usual talent throughout the season and he has once again booked his ticket to Dublin with Parc Epic and Murphy Spartacus. Wachman’s form this season includes two wins in the Coolmore Stud Pony Premier and second in the CWD Pony Spring Tour. He will, no doubt, be gunning for another title.
