Ireland’s Shane Breen finally landed the Al Shira’aa Derby at Hickstead, after nearly two decades of trying.
Shane first came close to winning the Hickstead showcase back in 2005, when tying for third place with his future wife Chloe Bunn, the daughter of the All England Jumping Course founder Douglas Bunn. Seventeen years later, having finished second and third in the class on a number of occasions, Shane finally lifted the Boomerang Trophy after delivering the sole clear round on Team Z7's Can Ya Makan.
