GALWAY native Cathal Daniels had a perfect start to his National summer season when he took first and second place in the Premier Performance National Grand Prix in his home county last Bank Holiday Monday.

Daniels secured the top spot riding his own 14-year-old gelding Cappog Tomy (Camiro De Haar Z x S Creevagh Ferro Ex Siebe), bred by Tommy Reilly. He captured second place aboard his own eight-year-old mare Ardragh Lucky Lass (Sligo Candy Boy x Guidam), bred by Oliver Ward.
