McAuley wins

CO Louth’s Mark McAuley won last Thursday’s two-star 1.40m in Gorla Minore, Italy. Riding Nicole Mordasini’s eight-year-old gelding Al Capone Massuere (Nabbuco x Come On), McAuley’s time of 64.05 was the faster of 33 clear rounds among the startlist of 50. Conor Swail finished fourth with Flower (Bon Ami x Randel Z). That combination went one better on Friday when placing third in the 1.45m Table A.
