His victory came after the team could only finish second to Britain in the Nations Cup.

Babington’s Gold Cup win came courtesy of the only double clear of the competition, netting the Carrick-on-Suir rider £10,000. Irish dominance was evident with Peter Charles, riding the mare Pershing to fourth, and Billy Twomey placed fifth on the stallion Luidam.
