CO Down’s Conor Swail continued his winning ways at the four-star Thunderbird Horse Show in Langley, Canada, last weekend by landing his fourth win in two weeks at the venue.
That win came in Thursday’s $75,000 CSI4*-W Maui Jim Welcome Stake with Rose Hill Farm’s Rubens LS La Silla (Rebozo LS La Silla x Cash). Irish course designer Alan Wade built a technical track which only yielded eight clear rounds from the 50 starters. Swail and the 12-year-old Selle Français stallion were the penultimate combination and they laid down a deceptively fast round to win the 1.45m speed class, leaving out strides throughout and breaking the beam in 70.61 seconds.
