Flynn takes Lisbon Grand Prix
Comdt. Gerry Flynn kept up his recent run of good form at the four-star show in Lisbon Portugal tonight with a win in the Grand Prix on the Irish-bred mare 'Mo Chroí'.
The Army Equitation School rider crossed the line a comfortable two-and-a-half seconds ahead of Spain's Gonzalo Testa, while fellow Irish rider Shane Breen paid the price of a second-round fence down with 'World Cruise' to finish in fifth overall.
Flynn won the Longines Grand Prix with 'Mo Chroí' in Dublin last month, and since then has been second in the Prague Grand Prix.
