CORK’s Billy Twomey was unfortunate not to come away with a win from the five-star Longines World Cup show in Verona, scored two runner-up finishes at the Italian venue.

Twomey was second in last Saturday’s feature 1.55m BMW jump-off class, collecting over €12,000 when riding the 13-year-old gelding Diaghilev, owned by Terry Payne.
