AS at Tulllylish seven days earlier, there was a huge entry for the ridden Connemara qualifiers at Scarteen on Saturday when, again, classes had to be split in half to be judged with the top five in both divisions coming together for a final assessment by Patricia Hoey and Imelda O’Shaughnessy.

While the top five in each of these flat classes for mares and geldings bagged their golden tickets for the RDS, here we are going to concentrate on the winners, two of them coming out of Co Waterford while the other travelled down from Co Mayo.
