An outstanding performance from Sligo showjumper Richard Howley earned victory in the five-star Grand Prix at Coapexpan in Mexico last Sunday.
Riding Zodiak Du Buisson Z, Howley was one of just five first round clears, and went on to post a winning jump-off time of 40.74.
Germany’s Daniel Deusser finished as runner-up with Gangster V/H Noddevelt.
Third spot went to Switzerland’s Janika Sprunger with Orelie.
Last October, Enniscrone native Howley won back-to-back Grand Prix events in Oslo and Helsinki.
His performances put him in contention for Olympic selection, but just missed out on a spot in Paris.
