Irish equestrian gets a leg-up in the Super League

IT was a dream show for Shane Breen from the Cashel, Co Tipperary, who had a double clear round for Ireland in the Samsung Super League Nations Cup (Aga Khan Trophy) while riding World Cruise.

Just before going out to win the international speed derby on Dorada the following day, Breen was informed he’d been chosen as the male winner of the Longines Press Award for Elegance, with Christine McCrea from the USA takingthe ladies honour.

The award earns both riders valuable points which count towards their final ranking in the competition.
