THE Horse Sport Ireland autumn development series continued last weekend with three age classes at Saturday’s one-day event in Punchestown while the leg at Ballindenisk the following day was run as a combined training competition.

Ballygrangans Stud’s Patrick Byrne scored twice at the Co Kildare venue, starting in the HSI EI100 for five-year-olds where he completed on his Joanne Jarden-awarded dressage score with Richard Ames’s Irish Sport Horse gelding Belline Newmarket Delight (29.5). This chesnut son of Newmarket Venture was bred in Co Tipperary by Ciaran Collins out of Obrian Delight (by Castlecomer Q).
