Double for Ireland at Hickstead

Shane Breen and Dorada completed an Irish double at Hickstead as they pipped Ellen Whitaker and her specialist horse Henri de Herne for the £3,000 first prize in the Sky Sports Speed Classic at the Longines Royal International Horse Show.

Breen’s victory followed that of compatriot Marie Burke and her horse Chippison, who had the best of a six-way jump off for the Longines Classic and won by less than a second from Switzerland’s Paul Estermann on Kaiser de Quesnoy with Britain’s new international Helen Tredwell finished a close third on Opportunity B.
