LYNCH AND KURTEN IN IRISH ONE-TWO AT BELGIAN SHOW

DENIS Lynch and Jessica Kurten picked up over 11,000 euro between them when finishing first and second in this evening's (Thursday) Two Phase competition at the five-star World Cup in Mechelen, Belgium.

Lynch was the faster of the Irish duo, stopping the clock with Thomas Straumann's Calvaro Z gelding Night Train half a second ahead of Kurten, who was piloting APR Brother Services's grey gelding API Largo.

The Tipperary rider collected 6,500 euro for his victory, while Antrim-born Kurten picked up 5,000 euro.

However, the prize money becomes even bigger later tonight when the Belgian Grand Prix yields a total of 50,000 euro, and culminates in Friday's World Cup class, where rewards include a 25,000 euro car and 100,000 euro in cash.
