In true derby fashion, course designer Alan Wade’s (IRE) track spanned across both the Dixon Oval and Wheeler Ring prompting horse and rider combinations to gallop under the iconic “Where Champions Meet” sign to make their way down to the final obstacles.
Debney flew through the timers in a time of 74.46, with one down, time converted faults put the pair at 78.46 to take home the win over Jimmy Torano and his own Kochio Z who posted a clear round in 78.82 to capture second place. Rounding out the podium in third was Jessica Mendoza, also representing Great Britain, and her own I-Cap CL Z with a time of 79.21.
