THE Cavan Indoor Derby has earned a reputation as a real crowd-pleaser and this year’s class at the Cavan Indoor September Championships was no exception. Sponsored by Karlswood Stables to the tune of €4,500, it attracted a 33-strong start list. Ten of the 33 left all the fences intact to progress to the jump-off.

In the end, it was the final pair in - Shane O’Reilly riding Brian McConville’s Lancer Luck that took the honours. By Castleforbes Lord Lancer out of Dalystown Lass (Coevers Diamond Boy), he was bred by Thomas Whelan and has been partnered by O’Reilly for the past three years.
