Coyle on form in Belgium
Saturday, 2 July 2005 20:15In the middle of what has been a good season for the Dungannon rider, Trevor Coyle again made his mark at Lummen, Belgium, with an equal third in today's Six-Bar competition, with the ever-improving Overtime.
Coyle took second place at Lummen in the 1m50 class on Thursday, and last weekend was second in the Meise Grand Prix in Belgium, all on the ten year-old grey gelding.
Shane Breen was best of the Irish in the Lummen Derby today, on a course so tough that it allowed not one first-round clear from the 22 competitors, with two Britons, Robert Whitaker and his father John, fighting it out in the jump-off with four faults apiece.
The younger Whitaker took the E6000 Derby purse by the slim margin of a single time fault.
Breen's first Derby round of 16 faults on Luandra was more than enough to put him in the prize money, with a seventh place.
