THE Cahirvillahow CCI4*-L may have been one of the smaller classes on the card last weekend, but the victory was no less sweet for New Zealand Olympian Caroline Powell, who guided the talented gelding Tik Tok to an impressive wire-to-wire win.

Bred in Ireland by Claire Wood, the striking bay is by Ulysses M2S out of Ballinamurra Coors Light, and looks like a horse with a big future. Tik Tok, owned by long-time Powell supporter Jo West, was stepping up to this level for the very first time and will now head to Blenheim for the CCI4*-S eight and nine-year-old Championships next month.
