Ireland won the big one at 91原创鈥檚 Thunderbird Show Park (tbird) on Sunday.

Chef d鈥橢quipe Michael Blake鈥檚 squad has made the podium in every Nations Cup event since 2017, and they recorded their second win in that span on June 5 at tbird, running away with the $400,000 Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup of Canada.

鈥淓very result here is special,鈥� Blake said. 鈥淚t took me a year to figure out how to win, but we haven鈥檛 been off the podium. We鈥檝e had mixed teams here. We鈥檝e had to cajole people onto teams here. But this year we prioritized this event.鈥�

The four-man squad of Daniel Coyle (Legacy), Andrew Bourns (Seatop Blue), Shane Sweetnam (James Kann Cruz) and Conor Swail (Count Me In) dominated the feature event of the Odlum Brown BC Open and the only qualifier in the country for the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup finals in Barcelona this fall.

Coyle, Bourns and Sweetnam each contributed a clear round for their team, which put Ireland so far ahead in the second round that team anchor Conor Swail 鈥� tbird鈥檚 winningest rider 鈥� did not have to jump a second time.

Mexico rallied in the second round to finish second, with Australia third.

While it wasn鈥檛 the home team鈥檚 day, Canada鈥檚 fourth-place finish secured their qualification for the Nations Cup Finals.

Ireland last won the event in 2018, and both Coyle and Swail were on that squad.

Olympic veteran Sweetnam, riding exciting 9-year-old James Kann Cruz, and Bourns, with his family鈥檚 protege Seatop Blue joined the lineup for 2022 and produced the team鈥檚 best scores.

Seatop Blue鈥攕couted by Bourns鈥� family as a foal 鈥� produced just one of two double-clear rounds on the day, while James Kann Cruz had just a single time fault in the second round.

鈥淢y father is here, so it鈥檚 a real family affair,鈥� Bourns said. 鈥淚 have to say, [Seatop Blue] is just as part of the family as I am.鈥�

A little rain on the grass field that makes up tbird鈥檚 Fort Grand Prix Arena didn鈥檛 hurt. 鈥淚f you knew it was going to be raining and on grass, I think Ireland would be a good bet,鈥� said tbird President Chris Pack. 鈥淲e鈥檙e very appreciative of all the teams that came, and especially Ireland, putting this as a priority.鈥�
