Daniel Coyle wins
Wellington Grand Prix
D
ERRY’S Daniel Coyle was
victorious in the four-star
Grand Prix at Wellington,
Florida on Sunday night.
Riding ‘Ivory TCS’, owned
by Coyle himself and Ariel Grange,
the combination were one of just four
to make it into the jump-off, from a
field of over 40 starters.
Of the four, Coyle was one of only
two clear rounds in the jump-off,
taking home first place with a time of
38.06 - almost one second faster than
his nearest rival America’s Lacey
Gilbertson, who crossed the finish
line in 39.03 seconds.
Another home rider, America’s
McLain Ward took third place with
four faults and a time of 39.86.

elsewhere on Sunday night, as County

‘Theo 160’ is co-owned by Swail and

Katie Laurie.
