Daniel Coyle (IRL) was the rider to beat at last week’s Canadian Premier CSI4* at Thunderbird Show Park. Now, he’s proving to be yet again at the Odlum Brown BC Open, emerging victorious on the aptly named Incredible in Wednesday’s CSIO4* $31,100USD Nations Welcome Qualifier 1.50m.
Set a speed format, the class welcomed top contenders on their experienced horses.
Second in the order, Coyle and the 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Clinton x Heartbreaker) put it all on the line, coming home in 63.10 seconds, leaving the rest of the class to chase him. Twenty-five rounds later, they still sat at the top, winning by a margin of three seconds.
