Mark McAuley completes Irish clean sweep in Rotterdam with second win of the day

Co Louth’s Mark McAuley has galloped to victory in this evening’s two phase 1m45 class at Rotterdam’s five-star show in The Netherlands, just a couple of hours after Irish pair Darragh Kenny and Shane Breen filled the top two places in the opening competition at the Dutch venue.

McAuley and the 8-year-old mare Jacintha V Kriekenhof, owned by Nicole Mordasini, crossed the line clear in 33.62 seconds to take the winner prize ahead of Swedish runner-up Peder Fredricson riding Hasard (34.32). Maikel Van Der Vleuten finished third for The Netherlands with Dana Blue (34.96).
