Show Jumping Result - IJM Timberframe Grand Prix - Floody Wins Thomastown Grand Prix

ANOTHER sunny Sunday welcomed the 25 starters to the Thomastown Grand Prix in Co. Kilkenny today and John Floody racked up his first League win on Paddy Musgrave's <Athea Clover Mist>.

Floody said afterwards: <It was a day that started badly and ended well. I had a puncture on the way here, and nearly didn't make the start. But the course jumped very well and it was nice going. I am delighted.>

John Floody was one of three riders who brought two horses to the third outing in the IJM TimberFrame League, but only Shane Breen managed to slot both into the Top Six, giving John Floody a very close run for first place, riding <World Cruise>. Breen's other horse, the national Grand Prix veteran <Luandra>, knocked one pole in a fast second round, but was best of the four-faulters, and took fifth place.

League favourite Conor Swail and <Drumagoland Flight> took fourth today, thereby putting Swail on a equal footing at the top of the League table with Cian O'Connor, while Edward Doyle made his 2004 debut on <Effective>, taking third, enough to nudge him into the higher echelons of the rankings.

Richie Moloney also racked up points with a sixth place on Andrew Doogue's <Sure Flow>.

Eleven riders made it through to the jump-off on Pat Hutchinson's 1m40 course.
