A BRILLIANT performance from Ireland’s Daniel Coyle and the Ariel Grange-owned mare Legacy saw them claim victory in last night’s (Saturday) Longines FEI World Cup Grand Prix at Toronto in Canada, after they produced the only double clear of the five-star contest. The 100th anniversary of Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair held special meaning for the Irish rider, as he works out of nearby Lothlorien Farm.

“That’s maybe why I was trying so hard to get something to happen, and nothing was,” he said. “I couldn’t jump clear in any class, on every different horse.”
