Kurten wins Dublin Grand Prix

Jessica Kurten made her visit to the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show more than worthwhile today when she scooped the €42,000 first prize in the Longines Grand Prix with Lady Georgina Forbes's mare Castle Forbes Libertina.

With a classic double clear round the Antrim-born rider saw off Belgian challenger Patrick Spits, whose single time fault relegated him to second place and the runner-up prize of €29,000.
