IRELAND’S Jonathan Corrigan secured his place on the podium in the four-star $200,000 1.55m Grand Prix at Ocala in Florida, when he placed third with the 12-year-old gelding Darius de Kerglenn.

There were 23 starters in the class, but just three combinations made it over the first-round course without fault. Corrigan was among them and was in the good company of American riders, Kent Farrington riding Toulayna and Laura Kraut riding Bisquetta.
