VISITING riders may have proved to be a dominant force at Balmoral CSI2* but Irish riders came out on top in the final Bottle Green and Horse Sport Ireland International Grand Prix last Friday, with Tipperary's Greg Broderick claiming victory.

Last to go in the seven-horse jump-off aboard Charly Chaplin, Broderick's calculated riding saw him take out a stride from fence one to two. This, matched with a stride out between the third and fourth fence, and then to the last, saw him lodge the winning clear round of 40.78 seconds.
