In London Darragh Kenny was 'crowned World Cup king!" Not only did the Irish show jumping rider win the World Cup competition but also was named best rider of the competition! “It’s a Show that I always love to come to, I’ve watched it since I was a little kid," said Kenny!
"it’s one of the best shows of the year, and to have won this World Cup is pretty cool. I knew going into the ring that I had to be fast because those boys are brilliant and they’re all on form, so I knew I had to really throw it down, but Eddy Blue was unbelievable and jumped great, so it worked out. It’s hard with Ben coming behind you, you never know if you’ve done enough, he’s one of the best riders in the world, so it was a wait and wish situation.”
On claiming the Leading Rider of the Show award, Kenny continued: “I didn’t start strongly, but it ended up being a good week and this caps it off. The crowd here is unbelievable, they’re so fun and it’s brilliant to put on a good show for them.”
