LIMERICK show jumper Paul O’Shea won his first five-star Grand Prix at the Longines Palm Beach Maters in Wellington, Florida, last Friday evening aboard the Tequestrian Farms LLC-owned Imerald van’t Voorfof.

Some 44 combinations started over the 1.60m $210,000 Longines Grand Prix, which was designed by Tipperary’s Alan Wade, and 15 of those made it through to the jump-off. Despite the number of clears, the second round was tense and only three were able to keep the momentum and produce double clears.
