IT isn’t often that Daniel Coyle comes away from a show in America or Europe without a host of top results and last weekend’s four-star event in Samorin, Slovakia, was no different, as the Derry man came away with three top-three placings, among others.

He got off to a good start in Thursday’s 1.50m when finishing second aboard Ariel Grange’s Farona (Baltic VDL x Lux Z) to win close to €5,000. His time of 61.92 was just beaten by America’s Jessica Springsteen with Volage Du Val Henry (0/61.24).
