French five-star win for Pender
AFTER helping the Doha Falcons to a Global Champions League win in Paris on Friday, Kildare’s Mikey Pender then won a five-star class at the French venue on Sunday. Riding Marion Hughes’ 13-year-old home-bred mare HHS Fortune (Catoki x Ard VDL Douglas), he raced to victory over 1.45m, clocking the fastest of 10 clear rounds in 56.15 seconds to earn just over €7,000. He saw off a challenge from Britain’s Scott Brash who finished second with Hello Vittoria (57.76).
