Cian O’Connor second in Million Dollar Grand Prix

Show jumper Cian O’Connor boosted his Olympic aspirations when runner-up in the Million Dollar Grand Prix in Ocala, Florida, last night.

The Meath-based rider pocketed $200,000 after his efforts on the 10-year-old stallion Good Luck saw him produce one of just three double clear rounds over a course built by Tipperary man Alan Wade.

For good measure, O’Connor’s student Lillie Keenan place third on Super Sox, a horse he had previously campaigned.
