LOOKING through the list of Dublin Grand Prix winners, Kathy Kusner and Untouchable’s names appear after the US pair recorded a rare back-to-back Dublin Grand Prix double. In the same year - 1965 - as their second win, Laura Kraut was born near Atlanta, the 1996 Olympics host city.

Fitting for a rider who went on to compete at no less than four Olympic Games, 10 World Cup finals, three World Equestrian Games, a Pan-American Games and, last year, became the winner of the same Dublin Grand Prix as her compatriot, Kusner.
