A SUPERB performance from Tipperary’s Denis Lynch and the Onyx Consulting-owned stallion Cristello saw him take victory in Sunday’s €200,000 five-star Grand Prix at St Tropez in France, where the vast majority of top level show jumping has been held since the return of sport following the Covid-10 lockdown.

Although the odds seemed to point towards a home win with no less than five French riders booking their place in the nine-horse jump-off, it was Ireland that came out on top and Lynch scooped the top prize of €50,000.
