Lynch Second in Paris Speed Class
IRELAND’S Denis Lynch was just over half a second short of taking victory in Saturday’s major speed class at the Saut Hèrmes show in Paris.
Riding Thomas Straumann’s bay gelding Abbervail van het Dingeshof, the Tipperary show jumper settled for the runner-up purse of 12,300 euro, while Netherlands winner Maikel van der Vleuten pocketed 20,300 euro for his unbeatable time of 52.96 seconds with the grey mare VDL Groep Eureka.
Ireland was not without victories at the Grand Palais arena though, as Galway’s Michael Duffy won the Under 25 Les Talents Hermès jump-off with Cortina 200, recording the fastest of four double clear rounds to be achieved in the competition.
