BALLINDENISK is a happy hunting ground for MGH Zabaione and Padraig McCarthy as they took another victory on home soil. Twelve months ago, the combination took the victory at the level below and kicked off their international season exactly where they left off at the end of last season with a win.

The nine-year-old home-bred gelding only added 2.4 time penalties around the Helen West-designed cross-country course to their dressage score of 33.7 to win the Nutriscience CCI4*-L.
