Show Jumping - O'Brien Shares Puissance Win At Helsinki

WITHIN an hour of winning the 1m40 competition at Helsinki tonight (Saturday), Ireland's Lt. David O'Brien repeated the magic by sharing first place in the Puissance competition, setting a new Helsinki Horse Show record of 2m18.

O'Brien steered the veteran 12 yr-old Cruising mare <Cruise Hill> through three faultless jump-offs before agreeing to share the prize with Denmark's Michael Aabo when the height record had been broken.

Lt. O'Brien will ride the Clover Hill stallion <Boherdeal Clover> in tomorrow's (Sunday) World Cup Class at Helsinki.
