William Funnell has won the Hickstead Derby for a second time aboard Cortaflex Mondriaan after proving too good for 2007 winner Geoff Billington in a thrilling jump-off.
Clear rounds proved impossible to come by in the first round of Britain's richest show jumping class, with William and Geoff, the last two riders to go, producing the best performances in the class to finish with four faults each.
In a class of 29, six tied for third — William Whitaker had two on eight faults along with Guy Williams, Douglas Duffin, Peter Smyth and Jan Motmans. British Olympic team members Ben Maher and Michael Whitaker were in action, with the former finishing ninth and Michael being eliminated on top of the famous bank, a fate that also befell his niece Ellen.
