SHANE Breen’s trip to the five-star Royal Windsor Horse Show in the UK last Sunday came to an exciting close as he took the honours in the 1.50m Manama Rose Show Stakes.

Riding the Team Z7-owned gelding Can Ya Makan in the one-round speed contest, he delivered a clear round in 61.75 seconds to take the top prize of almost €7,000. Guy Williams and Cicero II had to contend with the runner-up spot, when they clocked 63.47, while former world number one Scott Brash finished third with Hello Senator, clear in 64.09.
