Irish riders top the podium here at the Andalucía Sunshine Tour
Sean Monaghan with ‘EMS Adelaide’ and Jason Foley with ‘CNOC Rua Chinook’, top two in the 1.45
Today’s 1.45 class was demanding to say the least, with only 4 riders making it through to the jump off with clears within the time. In the end, Irish riders took the top two places here at Montenmedio, with Sean Monaghan winning the class, clear in 38.85s riding the Irish bay mare, ’EMS Adelaide’, who he also won the 140/145 2 phase with on the 26th of Feb. Sean rode a forward but careful clear, making up time on the roll back turn after the double. He beat his countryman, Jason Foley who finished in 39,27s riding ‘CNOC Rua Chinook’ who, amazingly, he only started riding at the end of last year in 125 classes.
Sophie Evans (GBR) also jumped clear in the jump off completing a lovely careful round on ‘Florida Van Maarle’ and she took a well deserved third place. Next two places were taken by Germany, with Lea-Sophia Gut in fourth with 9 faults on ‘Hanne Umonia’; and fifth was Daniel Lahmann who had just one time fault in the first round with ‘Kyamant Van’t Spieveld, as did Catherine Pasmore (USA) with ‘Came’ who ended up in 6th.
