So to the feature class of the weekend, the Ravensdale Lodge Equestrian & Event Centre sponsored 1.40m National Grand Prix. Senior National course designer Ray Buchanan had designed some great jumping tracks over the three days of competition displaying a real flair for fair competitive tracks which were appropriate for the level of competition being jumped. Buchanan did not disappoint in the feature class which had an entry of 30 combinations, 9 of which made it through the first round to go into the jump off which was won by 2002 World Show Jumping Champion Dermott Lennon with Vampire, a course specialist and previous winner of the 2013 Autumn Grand Prix at Ravensdale Lodge. Lennon, who squeezes in his visit to Ravensdale Lodge before flying out to an invitational event in Shanghai later in the week was last to go in the jump off with Dean Rogan’s scintillating time of 36.84 seconds to beat. Vampire once again answered all the calls from his rider, making every turn and galloping down to the last fence in four strides taking out two strides to stop the clock on 35.64 seconds, over a second in hand on Rogan who finished second with Falco Van Speveld. Sven Hadley signed off on a lucrative weekend by finishing third in the GP with Quanbell, Daniel Coyle was fourth with Linzi Johnston’s mare Uptown Girl, this pairing having won the feature Spring Tour Grand Prix on three successive occasions from 2012. Fifth place went to the ever competitive John Floody with Mise Le Meas, Floody had the unlucky draw of first to go in the jump off and put in a steady clear round time of 38.66 seconds. Captain Michael Kelly, the winner of this class in 2011 was sixth on board the Minister Of Defences’ Donganstown Boy while Mark Kinsella with DMS Impulse was seventh, Conan Wright was eight on board the Bridge House Stud owned Riverland Roi. Daniel Coyle picked up some more place money, this time with the John Carr owned Esprit Van De Hoedoeloide while Emily Turkington picked up the final tenth place prize money and rosette with her own Willem.
