Irish riders boost rankings in Florida

Three Irish riders were in the prize money at last night's World Cup Grand Prix in Wellington, Florida, but it was Britain's Scott Brash who took victory with Sanctos Van Het Gravenhof in an 11-horse jump off.

Galway's Andrew Bourns and the Clover Hill gelding Roundthorn Madios were first to go clear in the second round, but Tipperary's Kevin Babington, making a welcome return to international Grand Prix top tens, took the course just over a second faster on the Irish-bred gelding Mark Q.
