Denis Lynch in driving seat as he wins Land Rover in Belgium
Making it more impressive was the fact the Tipperary rider was on a relatively new horse, Songe de Toscane. Regardless, he said with a car on offer, he is always prepared to have a go.
“I have been coming to Mechelen for a very long time, but this is the first occasion on which I’ve won a car,” said Lynch. “Despite the fact that Songe de Toscane is only nine years old, we did our best, which proved good enough. If you can win a car, I go for it. I am very pleased with the performance of the horse. I’ve not been riding this stallion for very long and this is just about the toughest test he has experienced.”
