Michael Ryan took the top two places in Ireland’s Bluegrass Super League series.

The former Irish team rider took the A/CNC** class at the final event in the series, Loughanmore, with Master Mexico and finished third with Dances With Wolves.

These results elevated Michael’s two horses above Steven Smith, who had held the top three positions before Loughanmore, but did not ride at the final event. He held onto third place with Ringfort Rara Ruby.
