Irish head to Lyon seeking more success
O’Shea, who has been based in the US for a number of years, rode the Irish-bred Skara Glen’s Machu Picchu to claim the $130,000 (€111,600) American event. The pairing, who have been knocking on the door throughout the autumn season at the North Carolina venue, landed the closing grand prix after taking an early lead in the jump-off, with the eight following combinations falling shy of the target.
At Montpellier, Kenny, on board Go Easy de Muse, also proved uncatchable, posting the first jump-off clear and holding onto top spot with almost a second to spare.
