THE first international class at Mullingar International kicked off with the Glenn Wood 1.25m Silver Tour where 68 competitors took up the gauntlet.

Speed merchant Sven Hadley led the victory lap last Saturday when he delivered a clear in 47.59 with the KWPN gelding Ganorad. Owned by Hadley Sport Horses, the eight-year-old Bacardi VDL gelding is out of the Undercover-sired dam Anora.
