IRISH riders were on top form at week three of the Andalucia October Tour at Vejer de la Frontera in Spain last week, concluding with a super performance in the 1.55m Grand Prix, where three of the top four combinations were Irish!

Athlone’s Francis Derwin rode the nine-year-old mare Parvati Aeg into pole position, just fractions ahead of Tipperary’s Max Wachman on Fancy De Kergane. They were closely followed by Kilkenny’s Seamus Hughes Kennedy on ESI Rocky (ISH), bred by Ennisnag Stud, in fourth.
