TIPPERARY man Liam O’Meara brought another successful Millstreet International Welcome Tour to a close by calmly taking the CSI* Welcome Tour Grand Prix title on Saturday after a thrilling competition.

Twenty-eight horses came forward for the feature class, all vying for their share of the €5,500 prize fund and the first round claimed its fair share of victims. Thirteen combinations produced faultless performances over the Olaf Herrmann-designed course to go forward to the second round, leading to one of the most exciting Grand Prix to grace the Green Glens Arena in recent years.
