JUST as they did 12 months previously, Philippa Baird and Amstecos went from being placed in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing racehorse to riding horse class at Dublin to winning a similar class at the Saintfield Horse Show staged at Tyrella House last Saturday.

Irish National-winning amateur rider Ann Ferris once again accepted an invitation to judge the Downpatrick Racecourse-sponsored class, being joined on this occasion by dual Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Noel Chance. Having decided on their winner, the pair placed the popular former point-to-pointer Send For Paddy (Holly McClure) second with Giuliani (Yvonne Armstrong) third.
