IRISH riders dominated the €25,000 The Bunn Leisure Trial Derby for the Ben O’Meara Memorial Trophy last week with David Simpson capturing the win in a hard-fought competition that yielded only four clears from 62 combinations.

Simpson and the 10-year-old Belgian gelding Gotti Van Paemel (Cicero Z x Calido I) took a well deserved win, the only combination to post a double clear, finishing in 75.91 seconds.
