A TOTAL of 22 combinations lined out to contest the seven-year-old division of the DAFM Studbook Series finals at Mullingar Equestrian, which had a prize pot of €4,530. Out of the original starters, just four proceeded to the second round, where all four delivered double clears.

Claiming victory was Max Foley aboard the Marion Hughes-owned and bred HHS Lexington with a double clear in 41.91 seconds. This chesnut gelding is by Luidam out of the Cavalier Royal-sired dam Chantilly Lace. This pair was then heading to Dublin Horse Show, having claimed the runner-up spot in the qualifier in Mullingar.
