THERE were five-star wins for Denis Lynch and Richard Howley at the Longines Global Champions Tour of Monaco last weekend.

On the opening day, Denis Lynch and Cornets Iberio turned it up a gear to win the 1.45m Federation Equestre de la Principauté de Monaco. Competing in the adrenaline-charged speed class, Lynch and Cornets Iberio demonstrated their speed ability with navigating the smallest arena on the entire tour, stopping the clock in a time of 57.31 seconds to pip Francisco José Mesquita Musa and 15-year-old Catch Me Marathon to the post by less than half a second.
