Lynch going places at a rate of knots

ONE of the real success stories, of what so far has been an outstanding National Hunt season, is jockey Andrew Lynch.

He has developed into a tremendous rider and the likes of Henry de Bromhead, Colm Murphy and Robbie Hennessy have to be more than pleased they had the foresight to recognise Lynch’s talents when he was, perhaps, not quite so fashionable.

He is an artist in the saddle, a terrific horseman, tactically very astute and no shrinking violet when it comes to riding a finish.
