In the closing 5* class at Valkenswaard there was no holding back Denis Lynch and his trusted Brooklyn Heights (Nabab de Rêve). Together with Eric Polfliet's bred, son of Nabab de Rêve, Lynch conquered the closing 1.50m class.
Lynch and his Belgian Warmblood gelding (directly out of Cordula de Laubry) jumped to victory leaving Italy's, Lorenzo De Luca and Don Vito (Quaprice Bois Margot) as runner-up. Michael Pender and the 9-year-old Chacco Bay (Chaccato) completed the top three.
The pair was followed by Rodrigo Giesteira Almeida and his 12-year-old Zangersheide-mare, Pegasus Deau Re Mi (Deauville van T&L). The top five was completed by France's Kevin Staut and Beau de Laubry (Bisquet Balou vd Mispelaere).
Speaking of his win in the final 5* class of the Longines Global Champions Tour of Valkenswaard, Denis Lynch commented on how Brooklyn Heights has come back to the top level of the sport from a heavy competition schedule earlier in the year, he said: “He was very unlucky on Friday not to win, the last fence, that was my fault… and today we could’ve gone up two more gears, so he did the jump off nicely, and to win it - even better as we didn't ask everything of him today and that’s brilliant.”
