Ottawa, Ontario –Ireland’s Jordan Coyle riding Mojo TSP blazed to vic- tory in the $7,500 Speed Derby, pre- sented by Millar Brooke Farm, on Sunday, July 15, to conclude the Ot- tawa National Horse Show at Wesley Clover Parks in Ottawa, ON. When Coyle entered the grass ring


midway through the 17-horse starting field, he was chasing the leading time of 83.30 seconds set by Kelly Soleau- Millar of Wellington, FL, and Centre Ice, her 16-year-old grey Canadian- bred gelding. Coyle and Mojo TSP, a nine-year-


old Holsteiner gelding owned by Top Line Sporthorse International, bravely tackled the speed course set on Wesley Clover Parks’ grand prix field, which featured natural obstacles such as a steep bank and intimidating devil’s dyke. The pair left all the rails in place and raced through the timers in 80.18 seconds to move to the top of the leaderboard. Kelley Robinson of Russell, ON,


riding Lise came the closest to catching Coyle’s time. They were fast, but not fast enough, settling for second place with a time of 82.97 seconds. Soleau- Millar’s time with Centre Ice held up for third place while 17-year-old Sam Walker of Nobleton, ON, took fourth with a time of 83.77 seconds riding La- conia 7 after a four-second penalty was added to his time for a rail down. New Zealand’s Kirk Webby had the fastest time of the day, 77.72 seconds, but an eight-second penalty for a final time of 85.72 left him in fifth with The Irishman. “I love going fast and speed der-


bies, especially when it’s four seconds added for each rail, give you a real chance to go fast,” said Coyle, 25, of the format that sees four seconds added to the rider’s time for each rail down.


While the Irish native has jumped


numerous derbies in the past, it was the first time his mount had attempted a speed derby course. “He’s very brave and nothing re-


ally fazes him,” said Coyle, who began riding Mojo TSP at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL, earlier this year. “He never did any schooling on the natural obstacles ei- ther, so I’m really happy with him today.”

so far, and the field is perfect,” said Coyle, who hails from Northern Ire- land. “The grass here is as good as you’d get anywhere in the world.” Speed continued to be the name of


the game as horses and dogs then took the grass field for the entertaining $2,500 Canine-Equine Relay, pre- sented by Royal LePage TEAM Re- alty. Horse and rider combinations negotiated a show jumping course be- fore their canine partners from Dogz Canine Sports Centre in Nepean, ON, tackled their own agility course. Marcus Davis of Haliburton, ON,


riding Viekie and his canine partner, the Australian Shepherd Zuni, teamed up to post the winning time of 76.83 seconds. Finishing runner-up with a time of 79.88 seconds was Dutch com- petitor Frank Hendriks riding Nouvelle Bleue and his canine teammate, Stan- ley the Border Collie. Third place went to Christine Carlsen of North York, ON, riding Mise le Meas and Antic, an adorable Miniature American Shepherd, with a combined time of 80.80 seconds.
