Super Lynch triumphs

SHOW jumper Denis Lynch won the grand prix at the Samsung Super League Show in La Baule, France, yesterday, bringing the curtain down on a great weekend for the Irish.

The Tipperary rider, on board Lantinus, was second to go in a nine-horse jump-off and threw down a gauntlet nobody could pick up.

Only France’s Olivier Robert and Le Galant matched Lynch’s clear round, but he was made to look pedestrian by the German-based Irishman, whose winning time was more than two seconds faster.
