THE journey from Clare to Tipperary paid off for Joan Greene as she recorded her first win in The Underwriting Exchange Grand Prix last Saturday at Tipperary Equestrian.

Riding the aptly named Vivendi Tipperary, the pair were the fastest of five double clears in 37.08 seconds to take the winner’s share of the €2,000 in the Tipperary Equestrian-sponsored class.
