Good weekend for Irish riders in Europe

Irish riders claimed two Grand Prix victories in Europe at the weekend, while the 2025 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Finals saw Daniel Coyle secure a 12th place finish.

Kilkenny's Jack Ryan and the Seamus Drea-owned and bred DSH Lucky Junior (ISH) stormed to victory in Sunday's four-star Grand Prix at Arezzo in Italy.

Seven of the 50 starters went through to the jump-off, where Ryan and the 9-year-old gelding produced the fastest clear round to take home the winners prize of €26,500.

Tipperary's Thomas Ryan also made it into the jump-off in Arezzo and finished fourth with Jezebeau BC.

Meanwhile, at Peelbergen in The Netherlands, Tipperary's Denis Lynch came out on top in the two-star Grand Prix with the 13-year-old stallion Cornets Iberio.
