Round three of the Horseware/TRM Premier Grand Prix League took place at Omagh Show in Co. Tyrone today, Saturday 5th July, with a prize fund of €10,000, supported by the Silver Birch Hotel and Powers Whiskey.
The sun shone for the 38 starters that took on Paul Duffy’s track. 12 combinations made it through to the jump off.
The going was good and the Omagh crowd got behind the riders to make for a very entertaining jump off.
It was Monaghan man Clem McMahon on the 10 year old mare, Unesca that snatched the victory over Capt. Geoff Curran on the stallion Mullaghbane.
Unesca, a Danish bred mare owned by Debbie Curley Hilton sport Horses, is by Cassini II out of a Lancier mare.
A second day of good form saw Gerard Clarke and Horseware Ardragh Stein take third after their victory in the Horseware/ TRM National Grand Prix yesterday and the Army Equitation School were again well represented in the placings with Capt. Michael Kelly joining Capt Geoff Curran in the rosettes.
CEO of TRM Raoul Masterson was on site to present the prize to Clem.
Omagh show comes to a close for another year, the two days saw a jam-packed programme of events, a not to be missed festival of fun, food and farming for all the family thanks to all the great work by Tyrone Farming Society.
The series now moves to other end of the Country for Cork Summer Show on the 13th July.
