The winning team from the 128cm Pony/International Rider Relay clocked up a win for Belgium with Koen Vereecke and Conor Drain jumping super clear and very fast rounds to finish with no time added and a final time of 57.07secs which was well in front of second placed team Dermott Lennon and Daniel Mullins.

Koen Vereecke was riding the Belgian bred Sarah de St. Pierre and Conor was aboard Emerald Lucky.

The crowd certainly got behind this pair, especially as they were the 10th team to go and everyone could see the time was going to be very fast!!!!!

Rebecca Kinsella had a huge giggle, as did the watching crowd, as she tried to keep up with her long striding partner Edward Doyle - but her legs just weren't quite long enough - and Edward did slow down and wait for her!
Pictured right we see Brendan McArdle catching some last minute notes from Cian O'Connor - wonder if they were swapping Greek recipes before Cian heads off to Athens for the Olympic Games next week!

Pictured left are two of the best Course Designers on the circuit - Killian Clarke (left) Frank Glynne (right)!

Both have been known to build the odd "testing" track but they know their business and do it well - and add to that they are two of the nicest and most helpful Course Designers who are always willing to stop and have a chat about the track and where they think the issues came from and why!
