O’Neill having a Pop at Millstreet

Ger O’Neill has a couple of reasons for believing he might win the championship for five-year-old horses at Millstreet International Horse Show.

Obviously, having one of the most exciting young horses in the country in Ard Ginger Pop helps, but also because his good friend Greg Broderick is helping out by not challenging for the crown.

Broderick scored what is likely to have been a unique hat-trick at last week’s Dublin Horse Show, when taking the three young horse classes. In lifting the title for five-year-olds with Alberta Mist, he relegated O’Neill to the runner-up spot.
