IRISH riders put on a great show in Sunday’s 1.45m Grand Prix at the two-star show at Oliva in Spain, when Galway’s Jessica Burke finished on the podium in third on her reliable 15-year-old Irish Sport Horse partner Express Trend (Future Trend x Condios Express (ISH) by Condios), owned and bred by Liam Nicholas.

Out of 61 participants, 15 jumped clear to proceed to the jump-off, where nine combinations managed to secure double clear rounds. Burke was among them, in a jump-off time of 38.60 seconds – just over a second off the winning time set by Spain’s Mariano Martinez Bastida on Belano Vd Wijnhoeve Z (37.45). Matthew Sampson (GBR) on Pretty Pi’Que de’Luxe slotted into second in 38.12.
