MAYO’s Michael G Duffy (22) landed a brilliant fourth-place finish in the €300,000 Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Rome, Italy, on Saturday night.

Riding Carl Hanley Sporthorses’ Castlefield Rubinus, a 10-year-old gelding by Rock Forever, Duffy was third to go in the huge opening round and produced the first clear round of the class. Just four more followed suit leading to an exciting five-horse jump-off.
