GALWAY's Jessica Burke and the Irish sport horse Express Trend took the victory at the weekend’s two-star Grand Prix at Sentower Park in Belgium. A large field of 57 starters went to post, with Gort-based Burke coming out on top after a 13-horse jump-off with Express Trend (ISH), who is owned and bred by Liam Nicholas. Britain’s Harry Charles finished second with Valkiry de Zance, just ahead of Morocco’s Abdelkebir Ouaddar and Istanbull V.H Ooievaarshof in third.
