KILDARE’S Daniel Fitzgerald made his presence felt at the three-star fixture at the Riviera resort of San Giovanni in Marignano in Italy over the weekend, with a win and placings in three-star classes at the show.

Fitzgerald’s best result of the fixture was a win in Friday’s 1.45m Ranking speed class on board the nine-year-old mare Fleuriske Z, with a clear round in a very fast time of 66.09. They were more than two seconds ahead of their nearest rival Riccardo Pisani (ITA) on Chacco’s Lawito PS, who finished in 68.37 to take second place.
