EIGHTEEN-year-old Jack Ryan from Co Kilkenny is continuing to impress in Abu Dhabi where he won the six-year-old final and finished fifth in the three-star Grand Prix.

Victory in Saturday’s six-year-old class came aboard Breen Equestrian Ltd’s Elmira Mail. The combination were one of only two double clear rounds in the class and Ryan’s time of 35.89 seconds was good enough to earn €1,689.
