TIPPERARY’s Kevin McCarthy won the $25,000 World Equestrian Centre Grand Prix in Ocala, Florida, last weekend. The New York-based rider rode Catch A Star HSS to victory in the 1.40m after a quick round against the clock.

Seven combinations fought it out in the jump-off and with a tall oxer across the diagonal as the final fence, McCarthy posted the winning round when breaking the beam in a time of 34.26 seconds.
