Daniel Coyle of Ireland secured two victories today in The Mustangs 1.55m and earlier in the day - The Partners 1.50m during the ‘Continental’ CSI5*, presented by Rolex. Not an easy feat at Spruce Meadows, the Irish veteran piloted his grey gelding, Incredible, through FEI Course Designer Peter Grant’s (CAN) 1.55m track.


Sixteen horse/rider combinations qualified for the jump-off, but no one could catch Coyle who posted the fastest, clear jump-off rider with a time of 38.66s.


“I can't say enough good things about Spruce Meadows. I've learned so much here. My horses have learned so much here, it's an amazing job what they're doing. They never stop making the place better. They put the new ring (footing) in last year. I think it's even better this year. So I'm looking forward to the weekend and we've had a great start.” - Daniel Coyle on returning to Spruce Meadows for the season.
