CO Louth’s Mark McAuley enjoyed a successful weekend at the five-star Saut Hermes show in Paris, France, finishing twice runner-up before taking a top-10 place in Sunday’s Grand Prix.

His first result came in Friday’s 1.50m Table A aboard Eva Lundin’s brilliant grey gelding Miebello. The combination collected €5,000 when their time of 61.85 seconds was just bettered by French winner Julien Epaillard and Usual Suspect d’Auge (0/ 58.16). Denis Lynch finished in seventh place with Chablis (0/ 66.56).
