LOUTH’s Mark McAuley picked up just over €7,000 when landing the three-star 1.60m Grand Prix at the Nations Cup show in Drammen, Norway, last Sunday.

Riding Eva Lundin’s nine-year-old gelding Jasco Vd Bisschop (Dulf van den Bisschop x Krunch de Breve), McAuley was one of only five combinations to jump clear in the opening round.
