Calgary, Canada – July 01, 2025 – Thousands of fans were treated to a spectacular Canada Day at Spruce Meadows. An exciting $50,000 Canada Cup Derby on the International Ring featured 14 obstacles (17 jumping efforts) and 650m of track.Forty-Seven horse/rider combinations stepped through the Clock Tower to take on the derby-style track designed by FEI-course designer Santiago Varela (ESP). This was the first time through the Clock Tower for many of the athletes – both horse and rider.

Nine combinations cleared the first round course and advanced to the jump off. It was an incredibly fast jump off. Ireland’s Jordan Coyle (IRL) was holding down top spot with a clear jump-off time of 34.40 seconds but younger brother Daniel was last to go in the order.

Daniel Coyle (IRL) aboard his new mount, Calippo 57, took all the risks and came away rewarded. The pair crossed the finish line in a time 34.16s to win the Canada Cup Derby.

Kyle King (USA) and Odysseus were right on the heels of the latter two, finishing just one-hundredth of a second behind.
