JORDAN Coyle was the leading international rider at the 2023 Dublin Horse Show and he looks on course to claim that title once again after winning both feature five-star classes on the opening days of the Show.

The Derry-born world number 35 won Thursday’s 1.60m Cashel Palace Hotel Stakes with Chaccolino, and completed another Irish five-star double at the RDS, as Tom Wachman secured the top spot in the Anglesea Speed Stakes with Hawaii. The latter triumph served as a real confidence-booster to Wachman, who made his Aga Khan Cup debut in the Main Arena on Friday.
