THE very slick operation that is the Jockey Club RoR (Retraining of Racehorses) National Championships came to their conclusion at the Aintree International Equestrian Centre last Saturday night following four days of competition.

No doubt there were many horses bred and/or raced in Northern Ireland among those who took part in arena eventing, dressage, showing (both in-hand and ridden), show jumping and working hunter classes but the three who stood out were Definitly Red, Native River and Rich Man Poor Man.
