LESS than 48 hours after jumping the all-important clear round to help Ireland to victory in the FEI Nations Cup, Cian O’Connor returned to the top of the podium in Sunday’s four-star $100,000 City of Ocala Grand Prix.

Again mounted on the big jumping Seringat, O’Connor produced just one of three first round clears from 39 starters over a tough course. He was joined in the jump-off by two American ladies hoping to make it a day to remember for the home nation – Beezie Madden and Ali Wolff.
