LOUTH’s Mark McAuley finished second in the two-star Grand Prix at Gorla Minore in Italy last weekend.

Riding Eva Lundin’s Miebello (Flyinge Quite Easy x Cardento 933), the horse he rode in the Aga Khan Nations Cup at the Dublin Horse Show in August, McAuley was just pipped at the post by Switzerland’s Philipp Zuger to collect €5,000.
