LOCAL rider Vincent Byrne proved to be a popular winner of the penultimate round of the Connolly’s Red Mills Spring Tour at Warrington last Sunday.

Riding the 12-year-old Ard VDL Douglas gelding Mr Rockefeller, Byrne posted one of only three double clears in the host sponsored class. This was the third victory of the tour for Byrne, who won at Wexford Equestrian and Ballinamona aboard Caugherty.
