Duffy scores another big
Grand Prix win for Irish
M
AYO’S Michael G Duffy
and the Irish Sport Horse
‘Lapuccino 2’, owned by
Carl Hanley Sport Horses,
took a commanding victory
in Sunday’s four-star Grand Prix at
Vejer De la Frontera in Spain, to add
to an excellent run of Irish results.
They nished with almost two
seconds to spare over British runnerup Joseph Stockdale with ‘Equine
America Cacharel’, while Swiss star
Steve Guerdat nished third with
‘Albfuehren’s Maddox’.
Speaking
afterwards,
Duffy
W
E
N
highlighted how ‘Lapuccino’ is a
special horse for him: “Today’s course
was very tough, with high-level riders
and only six horses that nished
without faults. I didn’t do anything
crazy [in the jump-off]. I stayed fast all
the way and, on the last line, I pushed
even more, I think that was where
I saved time. ‘Lapuccino’ has been
with me for ve or six years and, with
each passing year, he makes things
better. He has taken me all over the
world and I adore him. Today he gave
everything for me and winning this
Grand Prix is very special.”
