CIAN O’Connor continued his onslaught on the American circuit when he took third place in the AIG $1 Million Grand Prix at Coachella in California.

Riding the 11-year-old stallion Good Luck, he was one of just six to make it through to Alan Wade’s jump-off track. First to go in the timed round, O’Connor’s experience showed as he delivered that all important double clear in 43.986 seconds.
