YOUNG riders were to the fore of the international victories at Balmoral show and in Thursday’s feature £4,000 Connolly’s Red Mills International Spectacular 1.45m, it was Emma McEntee who came out on top.

Just six of the starting 24 combinations were clear in the first round to go through to the jump-off. Riding the John Hoyne-owned nine-year-old mare TFM Blue (Cheers Cassini), McEntee was one of just four double clears in a time of 49 seconds to land the top prize of £1,320.
