    Equestrian: Ireland show hot form at Hickstead

    Friday July 25 2008

    EQUESTRIAN: Irish riders took three of the top 10 placings in the Bunn Leisure International Trophy event at Hickstead yesterday afternoon, WRITES LOUISE PARKES.
    Cian O'Connor finished sixth with Rancorrado, lowering just one fence in the jump-off, while Denis Lynch slotted into eighth when also dropping a pole in a slower time.
    Eddie Macken, on Tedechine Sept, qualified for the jump-off but opted to rest his horse ahead of tomorrow's team battle in which he will compete alongside O'Connor (Rancorrado), Lynch (Nabab's Son) and Capt David O'Brien (Mo Chroi).
    The Irish team enjoyed back-to-back wins at Hickstead in 2000 and 2001 and although many of the competing nations are not putting out their top sides today due to the proximity of the Olympic Games, the opposition is no pushover.
    The Swedes are sending out an experienced foursome to ensure that they claw their way off the bottom of the Super Samsung League nations cup series table and avoid relegation in Barcelona in September.
