MANY apologies to Julie Donaghy Simpson, and Shawstown, for not including their racehorse to riding horse championship success at Newry Agricultural Show in last week’s column.

The section was judged by Denise Kelly Rice of the local Moorhill Stables who had Julie and her nine-year-old Olden Times gelding first topping the final line-up in the seven-strong Open class. Grace Ann Elliott was second here on the eight-year-old Ad Valorem gelding Adsup with Alex Wallace finishing third on Royal Sea Breeze, a 10-year-old Darsi gelding who, like Adsup, was once trained by Stuart Crawford.
