TWO Irish men were in the money in Prague over the weekend, as they were on the third-placed New York Empire team in the five-star 1.60m GCL Super Cup final at the Global Champions Playoffs. Denis Lynch on Cordial and Bertram Allen on the 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Pacino Amiro were accompanied by Britain’s Scott Brash riding Hello Jefferson to a podium finish in the very lucrative competition.

The third and final team competition for the GCL Super Cup was the crescendo of the Global Champions Playoffs, held in Prague. A staggering €6,500,000 in prize money in the class warranted some world-class competition and the best in the business were out to claim their share.
