Curran-Cournane bags second grand prix win on new mount

The rider from Glenbeigh, Co Kerry, is fast becoming a force with the 16-year-old son of Furisto since taking over the ride from Capt David O’Brien and opened his account at Crecora, Co Limerick, last month.

“He’s brilliant,” said the winner of his new ride after bagging his brace yesterday. “He’s super careful and, with his big stride, he covers ground. These are his strong points,” said Curran-Cournane, who is in his third season with the Army Equitation School.
