OFFALY show jumper Darragh Kenny was just pipped at the post to finish second in the five-star Longines Global Champions Tour in Shanghai, China, last Saturday, when Israel’s Danielle Goldstein galloped to victory in the €610,000 class.

Riding the former Billy Twomey-partnered big-jumping mare Lizziemary and with trademark feathers flying in her hair, Goldstein rocketed home as the fastest of nine top class combinations who had qualified for the jump-off in the fourth event of the GCT championship season.
