CORK’s Shane Sweetnam, a member of the gold medal Irish team at the European Championships two weeks ago, led a six-horse jump-off to land a big victory in the $50,000 Longines Cup at the four-star Hampton Classic Horse Show with Main Road.

Owned by Sweet Oak Farm and Seabrook LLC, the nine-year-old gelding Main Road (Heartbeat x Irco Marco) was the fastest over Alan Wade’s shortened track, standing at the full 1.60m height, to collect $16,500.
