Greg Broderick gets Ireland off to a good start

Ireland show jumping manager Robert Splaine celebrated his birthday on Wednesday and, no doubt, he will be hoping his team present him with a suitable gift in today’s Furusiyya Series nations cup in St Gallen, Switzerland.

Greg Broderick gets Ireland off to a good start

Greg Broderick gave the Corkman reason to cheer yesterday, when claiming the opener, a one-round speed class, on Mhs Automatic. The Tipperary rider had over two seconds to spare over Germany’s Phillip Weishaupt aboard Lucky Luke O and was suitably appreciative to have secured the ride on the 10-year-old chestnut gelding.

“He was sent to me by Frances O’Regan in Co Cork, having been ridden by her sons Alan and Conor. I was sent the horse to be sold and I was lucky that Cerulean Stables in New York bought the horse and left him with me until September. He will then compete with Cerulean owner Amanda Forte in the US. We are in partnership together with a few horses.
