Co Down’s Conor Swail came out on top in Friday night’s 1m50 Pepsi Challenge at Spruce Meadows five-star show in Canada with the Vanessa Mannix-owned GK Coco Chanel.

Six of the 25 starters jumped clear in the first round and at the finish, Swail and the 10-year-old gelding were comfortable winners, finishing 1.3 seconds ahead of both John Perez (COL) and Patricio Pasquel (MEX) who finished on the same time to share second place.
