PATRICK Byrne is never one to linger across the country, but even he clocked up 14.8 time penalties on his way to winning the seven-year-old DAFM Studbook series class at Tattersalls last Sunday.

Riding the versatile eventer/show jumper Belline Newmarket Delight, Byrne posted one of just two double clears to complete in front of Suzie Shekleton and Greenhall Good Decision. Winners at Ballindenisk last time out, Byrne and the son of Newmarket Venture are now into the advanced ranks, and will line up in the CCI3*-S at Lisgarvan this weekend. All four runners had a clear spin across the country.
