Good weekend for Alexander Butler

It was a good few days for Cortown native Alexander Butler who recorded his second Grand Prix win at the weekend.

The Meath man claimed victory last week in the two-star Grand Prix at Bonheiden in Belgium when riding Chilli B.

This weekend added another two-star Grand Prix to his tally with the 16-year-old mare Athene in Holland.

The duo came out on top after an eight-horse jump-off and shaded the verdict ahead runner-up Petronella Andersson (Sweden) with Claptonn Mouche while Daniel Meech (New Zealand) finished third.
