CONTINUING a great run of strong results in the Winter Equestrian Festival, Co Down’s Conor Swail landed a win in the $35,000 Douglas Elliman 1.45m Jumper Classic with the 10-year-old Holsteiner mare Cita.

German course designer Olaf Petersen Jnr kicked off the week with 70 entries in the 1.45m speed class which yielded 27 clear rounds. Sixth to go in the order, Conor Swail set an uncatchable time of 65.31 seconds that would hold on for the win riding Ariel and Susan Grange’s Cita.
