Show Jumping - O'Connor Second At Aachen

A single fence down today (Thursday) robbed Ireland's Cian O'Connor and <ABC Landliebe> of their ninth speed class victory in Europe this season.

Jumping at the 5-star show in Aachen, Germany, O'Connor was the fastest on time, but four seconds added for the knocked fence left him adrift of Belgian winner Ludo Philappaerts by just over three seconds. Without the fence down, <ABC Landliebe> would have taken the winner's rosette by just under a second.
