Show Jumping - Kerrygold Grand Prix League - Smyth Consolidates Lead At Iverk

THE FIRST to break the 100 points mark in the Kerrygold Grand Prix League this season, Strabane's Peter Smyth romped home on <Zara's Pride> today (Thursday) at Iverk, Co. Kilkenny, almost two seconds ahead of Eddie Moloney on <Kilmoylan Warrior>.

The second place, however, brings Moloney into serious League contention, earning him an equal fifth placing with Shane Breen, who steered <Iman d'Occagnes> into fourth at Iverk.

Richie Moloney joined his brother in the Top Six today, giving <Millfall Hill> its first serious placing, while Lt. Brian Curran-Curnane once again flew the Army flag with a good third on <River Boyne>.

Fine weather and double clears seemed to be the order of the day at Iverk, with riders taking the lead and then losing it as soon as the next horse had completed, and in the end just under four seconds separated the first-placed rider from the sixth.

Winner Peter Smyth (33) joked of his former trotter <Zara's Pride>: < I think she's a keeper> and indeed the combination has now opened up a gap that will be hard to bridge as the League enters its final stages.
