Splendid for O'Connor at Olympia

Meath-based Cian O'Connor enjoyed a good outing with Splendor at the London International Horse Show last night. O'Connor, a nominee of the Meath Chronicle / Cusack Hotel Group sportsperson of the year award won the Santa Stakes with the 13-year-old Splendor. O'Connor was successful in a six-horse jump-off ahead of French rider Penelope Leprevost. O'Connor will be in action this afternoon for the World Cup class at Olympia.
