MICHAEL Duffy recorded a fantastic five-star win last Friday at St Tropez. The Galway-born rider guided Jeff Ten Halven to victory when clear in 30.93 seconds in the 1.55m jump-off class to take home over €16,000 for his efforts.

From the 29 starters, just seven of 12 combinations in the jump-off delivered double clears. Duffy’s closest rival was French rider Edward Levy and Rebeca LS, who kept all the poles in place in 31.65.
