Clark best of the Irish in Olympic dressage

Dublin's Aoife Clark was ranked overnight 12th after a formidable Olympic performance on Master Crusoe in the first day of dressage in Olympic Three Day Eventing at Greenwich Park today.

The 30 year-old, riding the Irish-bred Master Crusoe, recorded a penalty score of 48.90, which gives her a marked advantage when she begins the next phase of the event on Monday.
