  Captain Canada, equestrian star Ian Millar will be competing at his seventh Olympics in Sydney after being named to the Canadian show jumping team yesterday.

 The team was named yesterday following the $50,000 AMJ Campbell Grand Prix in Palgrave, Ont., which served as the fifth and final selection trial.

 Jay Hayes, 42, of Cheltenham, Ont., with the mare Diva, and Millar, 53, of Perth, Ont., with the gelding, Dorincord, were nominated to the Australia-bound team (based on the Canadian Olympic Association's approval next month), on points earned at the five trials.

 Eric Lamaze of Schomberg, who won yesterday's class with Millcreek Raphael, and John Pearce, 40, of Stouffville, who finished second with Jamco's Vagabond, were named by the selection committee following the Grand Prix, bringing the total number to four on the Olympic squad.

 Hayes, who won the first trial this spring and held on to his lead for the other four, was ecstatic after the final competition yesterday.

 SURVIVAL TEST

 "The trials really are a matter of survival," said Hayes, who represented Canada at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, with Zucarlos.

 "We started off with a bang, had our ups and downs, then she really came out on top. She's very brave, very careful and she has so much power and scope."

 Millar's son Jonathon, who was named a team alternate yesterday, found his father's would-be Olympic mount, Dorincord, last fall while in Europe. The nine-year-old gelding has gone from Grade 8 to Grade 12 in the space of a year, said the elder Millar, "graduating from jumping small three-foot six courses to the huge challenge of the international Grand Prix ring."

 Millar is optimistic about Canada's chances in Sydney. However, he said the gruelling trip to Sydney and a long quarantine leading up to the Games will be very difficult for the horses. The trip will take 35-40 hours and dehydration could be a problem.
