Burghley showed how so much difference a single mistake makes at the highest level.
However Irish breeders must be proud of the results with two in the Top 10 and 6 in the Top 20. As well as these good results, there are lots of nice younger horses coming along in the UK and the USA.
The future looks good for Irish breeders.
See below the up-to-date results for this week – unverified results will be added to next week’s results.
