Kent Farrington puts an end to Ireland’s dominance

Ireland’s dominance of the Discover Ireland Dublin Horse Show came to end in yesterday’s feature €200,000 Longines Grand Prix, courtesy of American Kent Farrington.

However, it was a close thing, with Tipperary’s Kevin Babington and Down’s Conor Swail hot on his heels. .

The contest boiled down to an eight-horse jump-off and Farrington’s time of 43.14 seconds with Uceko proved exceptional, with Babington and the 10-year-old mare Shorapur his closest rival, over two-and-a-half seconds slower.
