Irish Sport Horse ‘Pacino Amiro’ recorded a double, securing his third and fourth international victories of 2023 at the CSI5* show in La Coruna, Spain, winning the 1.60m ranking class on Friday, July 14 and the 1.60m Grand Prix on Saturday, July 15.
Ridden by Bertram Allen, these results come as no surprise, with this combination representing Ireland at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, and helping Ireland secure Olympic qualification for the 2024 Paris Games at the 2022 World Championships.
The 13-year-old gelding is by ‘Pacino’ (BWP) and out of ‘Carnone Dancing Queen’ (ISH), by ‘NC Amiro’ (AES). Now owned by Aiden McGrory, he was bred by Simon Scott from Co. Donegal.
