Equestrian

Denis Lynch came close to driving away in a Volkswagen Passat at the World Cup show in Leipzig, Germany, at the weekend, only to be denied by the acceleration of Christian Ahlmann.

The Tipperary rider was among 17 to make the timed round from 52 starters, going on to produce a cracking performance with Thomas Straumann’s bay gelding Abbervail van het Dingeshof.
