CIAN O'Connor delivered another notable result this evening (Sunday) with his Irish-bred gelding 'Larkhill Cruiser' when finishing third in the Spanish Sunshine Tour Grand Prix at Vejer de la Frontera.

The 40,000 euro competition, which was also a 2011 European Championship Qualifier, saw O'Connor lose out by three-quarters of a second to Brazilian Pedro Veniss for the 12,000 euro first prize in the 15 horse jump-off.

'Larkhill Cruiser', sired by the legendary stallion 'Cruising', has given the Meath rider a string of successes since he bought the gelding late last year, including a victory in Friday's feature class at the three-star Spanish venue.

"He is easily the most consistent horse I have ever ridden," O'Connor said tonight after the Grand Prix.
