Single errors keep Irish duo out of the shake-up in Lyon

Single errors for both Denis Lynch and tyro Bertram Allen kept the Irish duo out of the shake-up in the grand prix in Lyon, France, yesterday.

Four faults for Tipperary’s Lynch came aboard the 10-year-old gelding All Star 5, while superstar-in-the-making Allen rued a similar score on Romanov.

Wexford rider Allen did not leave empty-handed from his first visit to the five-star fixture, having won a two-phase class on Friday with Ballywalter Farms’ Molly Malone V. The nine year-old grey mare also carried the 18-year-old to third place in a 1.50m speed class.
