Kernan's rivals out of touch in grand prix

James Kernan, riding Out of Touch, won the Dairygold Indoor Grand Prix at Millstreet, Co Cork, today (Sunday, November 3).

The Crossmaglen, Co Armagh rider was one of four to make the jump-off. Second to go, he jumped clear in 34.34 seconds, which proved too fast for Army riders Lt David O'Brien riding Killossery Kruissette and Capt Gerry Flynn aboard Bornacoola. O'Brien finished second with a clear in 36.34secs, while Flynn was third with a clear in 37.66secs. Waterford's Francis Connors, who was runner up last year, was first into the arena and four faulted at the wall to finish in fourth place.
