KILKENNY’S Susan Fitzpatrick finished second in the 1.45m two-star Grand Prix in Royan, France, last Sunday aboard her top mount, Verdict De Kezeg.

Fitzpatrick was the sole Irish representative at the six-day show. One of 45 starters in the Grand Prix, she booked her place in the 12-way jump-off with a first round clear and, against the clock, posted one of seven double clears in a time of 39.06 seconds to earn just over €5,000.
