Twomey sets podium target

Anyone who would know Billy Twomey would not be surprised to hear the Corkman declare he was in London to win a medal.

Twomey has spent his life savouring success and has shone as brightly as any of the stars of show jumping.

No reason to doubt him, then, when he says a podium finish is possible and that his mare Tinka’s Serenade is reason enough to be confident ahead of today’s opening contest.
