GILLIAN Beale King, the new stable jockey at Belline Estate Equestrian, announced her arrival on the Eventing Ireland scene in style last Saturday at Punchestown where, from three rides, she filled the top three placings in the EI110 (Open) on a trio of Richard Ames-owned horses making their seasonal debuts.
The Philadelphia native dominated the 12-runner competition from the outset as Mark Ruddock awarded her a penalty score of 16.3 in the dressage phase for her work on Derena Super Star who show jumped clear and, in the deteriorating conditions, was a second over the time across the country for a three-phase total of 16.7.
