Ireland team repeat Shergar success

A consistent performance from the Ireland team saw them retain the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup over Europe in a battle only decided by the final of the six races.

Ireland won one of the events of Ascot’s jockeys team competition when Fran Berry steered Andrew Balding’s 3-1 favourite Bernie The Bolt to a convincing success in the St Hallett Shergar Cup Stayers and he collected the Silver Saddle for the leading individual rider.
