IT has been an impressive few weeks for junior rider and European pony medallist Cian McMunn, who continued his winning form by claiming victory in last Saturday’s €4,000 National Grand Prix at Glenamaddy Equestrian Centre in Co Galway, aboard Bellevue Celestial. The pair delivered a flawless round before stopping the clock in a winning time of 32.09 seconds.

The success marks McMunn’s second major victory of the month, having also claimed the Derryronane Stud 1.35m class at Tubberbride earlier in the month with Lisboy Emerald.
