In his most spectacular win yet this season, the Army Equitation School's Lt. David O'Brien snatched the Lisbon four-star Grand Prix yesterday from some of the strongest opposition he has yet faced, and picked up prize money of almost £20,000.
O'Brien has already scored a class win at Modena and last month took three consecutive Firsts at Le Mans. Robert Splaine, who has also been featuring strongly at Modena, came fifth in today's Grand Prix. The Lisbon Nations Cup competition takes place on Sunday.
