Turner keeps focus on the big picture

Ireland eventing manager Nick Turner believes “there’s a lot to look forward to”, as he announced his squad for September’s European Championships at Blair Castle, Scotland.

A medal, he believes, is a realistic goal and if the squad already showing promise can their raise their game another notch, it’s not an unreasonable expectation.

However, Turner said the long-term picture, ie the Olympics, had played a role in determining his Blair selection.
