Splaine aiming to keep top ranking
Announcing a 10-rider selection panel for the opening three rounds of the league at the Horse Sport Ireland headquarters in Naas, Co Kildare, he said that, after achieving promotion last year, he had every intention of building on that and ensuring there was no quick return to the second division.
“Our goal is to avoid relegation and we have a good chance of that, assuming everything goes to plan and we avoid injuries to our horses,” said the Corkman, who was not quite ready to name the squad for La Baule, France, which opens the eight-round Super League next week. It is followed by shows in Rome, Italy, and St Gallen, Switzerland.
