Stunning five-star win for Buckinghamshire Breed Kimba Flamenco claims €200,000 Longines Falsterbo Grand Prix in Sweden

Thursday 12 July 2018

Bill Twomey and the Kim Barzilay-owned gelding Kimba Flamenco produced the first clear on the Grand Prix and they were joined in a 12-horse jump-off by fellow Irish rider Mark McAuley with Jasco V Bisschop. McAuley looked to be heading into the lead when seventh to go in the jump-off. However the last fence fell to the floor and they would finish in fifth place with four faults in 54.40.

Twomey was at his brilliant best against the clock and guided Kimba Flamenco to a perfect clear in 55.80 to take the lead. He had a nervous wait to see had he done enough – not least from last to go Irma Karlsson (SWE) and Ida Van De Bisschop who crossed the line just .09 of a second behind the Irishman to finish second. Twomey collected €66,000 for his victory while McAuley pocketed €12,000 for finishing fifth.
