DERRY’S Daniel Coyle had a good weekend at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, which continued in Toronto, Canada last week, with some notable successes for himself and other Irish combinations.

Coyle took a close second in Thursday evening’s $125,000 1.55m Mad Barn Big Ben Challenge. The class saw 22 on the start list, of whom six proceeded to the jump-off. Just two combinations kept all the fences intact for a second time, with Coyle on the 11-year-old gelding Incredible (Clinton x Heartbreaker) claiming second place and the $25,000 runner-up prize in a time of 38.16. He was narrowly beaten by Germany’s Richard Vogel on Levi Noesar in 37.87, for which he secured the $41,250 top prize.
