Seamus Hayes and Twister Who won the second round of the Connollys RED MILLS Munster Grand Prix League at Middleton Show
ADVERTISEMENT
Tipperary’s Seamus Hayes dominated the second leg of the Connolly’s RED MILLS Munster Grand Prix league at Midleton Agricultural Show in Co Cork by filling three of the top four places, including an all-important win with Twister.
Hayes managed to guide three horses through to the jump-off, giving him an excellent chance of success.
The only rider to come close to matching Hayes and Twister was another Tipperary man, Liam O’Meara with the ever-consistent Mr Coolcaum. This partnership have already been in the winner’s enclosure this season having won the HSI/Connolly’s RED MILLS Spring Tour at Wexford and another clear round saw the Nenegh rider finish as runner up at Midleton.

Seamus Hayes filled third place after another foot-perfect round with Jerry Sweetnam’s seven-year-old gelding Corphin, who is by the stallion Phin Phin out of an Orthos dam, before also managing to finish fourth with the Bian McClintock-owned eight-year-old stallion Barichello W (by Quidam de Revel SF out of a Grannus Hann dam). The next round of the Connolly’s RED MILLS Munster Grand Prix takes place at Ballinamona Equestrian Centre just outside Waterford City on Saturday 7 June.
