OFFALY’s Darragh Kenny initated a double of five-star wins at Spruce Meadows in Friday’s 1.50, jump-off class. Riding Stone Hill Farm’s 10-year-old gelding Romeo 88, he was the fastest of just two double clears in the five-horse jump-off.

Breaking the beam in 44.33 seconds, he beat Mexico’s Nicolas Pizarro into second place for over five seconds. “The first round course was tough, there wasn’t so many clears but it was a good jump-off and my horse really felt on point. I’ve only had him (Romeo 88) for five months but I think the sky is the limit,” Kenny said afterwards.
