Hickstead Derby winners: classic videos

Carol Phillips Carol Phillips

    • The list of Hickstead Derby winners reads like a Who’s Who of showjumping with many of the biggest names in the sport having won the sought-after title across the decades.

    Since Seamus Hayes won the first Hickstead Derby in 1961, some riders have shown a particular prowess for this special challenge with their names featuring time and again on the winners’ list.

    The most successful riders todate, with four wins apiece, are showjumping legends Harvey Smith, Eddie Macken and brothers Michael and John Whitaker.
