ANOTHER hotly contested division every year, the six-year-old Dublin Horse Show qualifier at Barnadown offered 12 qualifying places for the August showcase and 102 horses were brought forward to battle it out over three rounds of Tom Holden’s 1.30m track.

Nine combinations managed to produce a triple clear round to secure their place in Dublin. First place went to Richard Kirby’s BP Rocket Man (Stakkato Gold x Quidam Junior), bred by GGBS Intl and ridden by Kevin Gallagher. They posted a jump-off time of 35.96 for the win.
