NORTHERN riders dominated the Horse Sport Ireland/SJI Autumn Grand Prix last Sunday at the Portmore Winter Championships, claiming the first six slots in the €5,000 class. Tyrone’s Emily Turkington rode to victory aboard Jay Gatsby when she delivered the fastest of seven clears in 37.64 seconds.

Speaking after the win, Cookstown-based Turkington said: “Gatsby was class today. He has been in top three placings in 10/12 Irish Grands Prix in the past six months. He also competed in France with me and placed at Grand Prix level.
