Irish Rider David Simpson Wins Second Derby Qualifier in Hamburg
Irish equestrian David Simpson secured victory in the second qualification round for the German Jumping Derby at the tournament in Hamburg. Riding the eleven-year-old stallion Pjotr van de Kruishoeve, Simpson delivered the fastest error-free performance to claim the top spot. The British rider Guy Williams finished second on Crumbgraft, trailing by nearly two and a half seconds, while Luxembourg’s Charles Hubert Chiche placed third on Andain du Thalie, just one-hundredth of a second behind Williams. In total, fifteen horse-and-rider pairs completed the course without faults in this test, which offered a prize fund of 68,000 euros. Additionally, the article highlights success in the Grand Prix category, where eight-time Olympic dressage champion Isabell Werth achieved a double victory. The 56-year-old German rider won first place on her horse Wendy with a score of 81.043 percentage points and took second place on Viva Gold with 75.783 points. The main event, the 95th German Jumping Derby, is scheduled to take place on Sunday at 2:25 p.m., with coverage planned for ZDF.
