POSTING one of the largest winning margins of the weekend, Britain’s Tom McEwen was the emphatic victor in the Connolly’s Red Mills CCI** Under-24 class.

Riding the nine-year-old Joyride for the Stately Syndicate and Diana Murdoch, McEwen improved on his opening second placing (46.8) to forge ahead of compatriot Alicia Hawker and Charles RR (53.7). For good measure, the winning rider also filled third spot aboard Staff des Champs (54.0) narrowly pipping Ireland’s Michelle Kenny and Eurelia A (55.4)
