Cork’s Austin O’Connor and the Irish-bred gelding Colorado Blue, who is owned by the Salty Syndicate, finished best of the Irish riders in 13th place following a brilliant performance in Monday’s (1 August) individual final of the Eventing competition at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
O’Connor and Colorado Blue travelled to Tokyo as the Reserve/P Alternate combination. However they were called upon in the 11th hour after Cathal Daniels withdrew his mare Rioghan Rua “for veterinary reasons”.
